The problem isn't the users - it's the OS vendors.

We have regulations on our lawnmowers and automobiles (yes, seatbelts are a good thing!). Imagine if your car didn't come with brakes - or if they did, you had to install them yourself after spending hours upgrading your car to the latest version.

This is like Microsoft asking you to upgrade your Exchange version to turn off a "feature" which should never have been the default in the first place. This is the class action lawsuit that should really be taking place - thousands of businesses suing Microsoft for the time lost due to monkey scripts for features they never wanted in the first place and couldn't turn off without a CS degree...

Any OS vendor which provides an OS which connects to the Internet should have to have a default level of security that requires the level of knowledge for hacking to rise above kiddie scripting...
