I am a heavy Windows user. But until Microsoft learns to secure their own operating system. I will never be a fan. For some reason we have all bought into this notion that it is the users responsibility to acquire add on products and insure they are maintained and up to date to prevent unauthorized access to the OS components. It is a ridiculous notion actually but we all live with it. Vista by design was a bonanza to the hardware vendors, Microsoft and Microsoft OEM. People had to upgrade their hardware and much of their existing software because their existing platforms would not run with Vista. It was a big pay day.

Myself like everyone else simply has to live with this notion but I look forward to a new release of Windows and I would looking forward to getting the flu .. In the end it costs me a bunch of dollars and usually makes me sick to my stomach during the process.
