If it's not broken you don't fix it.

The difficulty with this attitude is that the malware producers keep finding new ways to break it, and eventually it becomes quite difficult to fix something that's just too primitive.

With the probable exception of Vista and Win8, nearly all new Windows OS versions have provided incrementally better security. This is very important to some people, but not necessarily a concern for the blissfully ignorant.

No one knows why either of the two exceptions were produced, other than "these are for idiots who are the only ones who will buy them, so we'll make them do just what the idiots can understand."

["idiots," in my usage isn't really derogatory, but just means people who refuse to RTFM and don't know how much fun they could have if they learned to use what's always been there.]
