Wrong. You can easily search the database of hotfixes and security bulletins. They describe exactly where the bug was found and the component it affects.

I don't see the kernel source there. Where is it? That's what we were talking about, the kernel. What happens if I don't want to trust what Microsoft has to say about Windows' kernel? If you don't trust Apple, you can look and inspect their kernel source just xBSD and GNU/Linux systems. You don't even have to go to court to get that code, its free for the taking...even compile it on an x86 box.

This is an honest question, no provocation intended: is the kernel source available for MacOS 9.x and earlier?

Even assuming you could read kernel code, you don't need that data to ascertain where the flaw is.

What happens if I don't trust the phone-home code in Apple Quicktime, troll? Where can I find source for that?
