The last straw came on Wednesday, when two researchers independently came up with separate attacks that pierce important memory protections Microsoft built to minimize the severity of security bugs contained in both home-grown and third-party applications that run on Windows. It was as if Adobe had sawed huge holes in a fairly effective safety net that Redmond went to considerable lengths to construct to keep its users safe.
