Tech: more about security and Microsoft

finally, a reasonably comprehensible article about the security problems...especially with Windows XP. It splits the 'blame' about evenly between MicroSoft's attitude and user's complacency.

A good article but nothing really new there. One basic problem is that, at Microsoft, the marketing department often makes decisions that should be made in engineering. "You call it a bug, MS calls it a feature. That means it'll never be fixed".
