I always suspected Microsoft used Monkeys to write their code
SecurityFocus HOME News: Microsoft looks to “monkeys” to find Web
All joking aside, this is a great idea. Create a large number of virtual machines with default XP installations and then set them to browsing the web and see what pops up. I’m a little curious if the virtual machines might not have slightly different memory handling, which might invalidate some of their findings. I also wonder how many ‘Oh sh!t’ moments they’ve had when they find an exploit for vulnerabilities Microsoft didn’t even know about yet.
