Microsoft Windows | MSN Flaw

Microsoft Windows | MSN Flaw

I have found a flaw in MSN. For those that use MSN or Live.com with
Windows see:
http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q...sults-than-MSN

Imagine what can be done when from the outside someone manipulates
MSN, Microsoft, XP and Windows just by modifiing the URL.

By the way, the Microsoft Mission statement
http://members.microsoft.com/careers...e/mission.mspx

[ quote ]

Great people with great values

Achieving our mission requires great people who are bright, creative,
and energetic, and who possess the following values:

Integrity and honesty

Passion for customers, partners, and technology

Open and respectful with others and dedicated to making them better

Willingness to take on big challenges and see them through

Self critical, questioning and committed to personal excellence and
self improvement

Accountable for commitments, results, and quality to customers,
shareholders, partners and employees.

Tenets that propel our mission

The tenets central to accomplishing our mission include:

Customer trust. This means earning customer trust through the quality
of our products and our responsiveness and accountability to customers
and partners.

Broad customer connection. This means connecting broadly with
customers, understanding their needs and uses of technology, and
providing support when they have questions or concerns.

Innovative, evolving, and responsible platform leadership. This means
expanding platform innovation, benefits, and opportunities for
customers and partners, openness in discussing our future directions,
getting feedback, and working with others to ensure that their
products and our platforms work well together.

Enabling people to do new things. This means broadening choices for
customers by identifying new areas of business, incubating new
products, integrating new customer scenarios into existing businesses,
exploring acquisition of key talent and experience, and integrating
more deeply with new and existing partners.

A global inclusive commitment. This means thinking and acting
globally, employing a multicultural workforce that generates
innovative decision-making for a diverse universe of customers and
partners, innovating to lower the costs of technology, and showing
leadership in supporting the communities in which we work and live.

Excellence. This means excellence in everything we do to deliver on
our mission

At Microsoft, we're committed to our mission: improving the potential
of our customers, and the world.

I suspect the real flaw you found is sitting between your keyboard and your
chair. But if you want to post this kind of drivel, the C# language group is
not the place.

Oh no, not another PEBKAC. Those can be the toughest to troubleshoot.
