> Can you outsource to the lowest bidder and expect to get back untainted code? I don't think so. Producing good original code is hard and cannot be done in sweat shops under a tight deadline. Managers at Microsoft should have known this and be held responsible for their actions.

For all we know they hired a company that came highly recommended. The transgression doesn't give us any insight into this.
