I feel for the hundreds of engineers at Microsoft who have been yelling about these security issues since day one, but cannot say "I told you so" because they'd get fired.

I survived a similar incident, telling our CEO at the time "you know our product can't do that, right?" I had to show my receipts, present usability studies, and faced incredible pressure, but 2 CEOs later, I'm still here... :)

Document everything. Keep good notes. You never know when it will be useful.

Sure but at Microsoft they fire people based on dice rolls

Or no dice rolls! "Bad luck, you! Bye!"

This is exactly what I was thinking. There are plenty of smart people that work there that would have said something before release. They were told to not rock the boat by the yes men and now Microsoft has to backpedal and pretend no one there thought about THOSE implications.
