Microsoft plans to update its Smartphone 2002 operating system to fix security flaws that make it possible to send rogue software programs to phones that use the OS, a representative said Friday.

The Microsoft representative did not provide a specific release date for the update, but Stuart Jackson, a representative for U.K. carrier Orange, which sells the affected phone, said the updated software is expected in about two weeks.

So far there have been no reports of phones being infiltrated by unauthorized software. Orange's SPV is currently the only phone using the Smartphone 2002 operating system.

If Microsoft wants to collect license fees for every electronic device on the planet, shouldn't they at least put forth the effort to make something that works right?
