You know OpenSSL is not Linux? And that IIS could equally have had this bug?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Red_%28computer_worm%29 (also a good

It's also not true:

OpenSSL do support contracts and many of the developers offer
consultancy services. Painting it as something done as a part-time
hobby is a bit misleading.
(And why 'sad' exactly? Also N.B. it's often an insult in British English)
