While I agree 100%, they at least try to review all C code and provide safer APIs instead of the usual ones

For example they clearly state that one should use fgetln() instead of fgets().

Of course, that won't fix the issues with using C, but the mentality at least is more security oriented.

What we really need is something like Midori reaching production. It would surely cost less money than all the Windows Phone restarts.
