Drat!
You stole my thunder!
If someone are going to make a lot of money in the software business, then he's going to have a product that appeals to as many customers as possible.
Microsoft did that with MS-DOS, and continued with Windows.
That Windows is full of security holes is a given. It needs to be in order to be flexible enough for others to write software to run in Windows.
What happened before Microsoft? Wasn't it UNIX that was full of security holes?
One of the things I've noticed about these "security hole" reports is they seem to be "found" by companies that make "security hole" patching software.
Make's one wonder if this is a case of biting the hand that feeds. Without Windows, many of the security software companies wouldn't have a raison d'etre.
