We all know that the reason no one writes viruses for Macs is because they are like 2% of the market share.

Add-on security at a price

The adaptation of VMS to the Intel architecture, which was Windows NT, had not security built into the design. When W.NT 3.5 was made pretty and musical into W.NT 4.0 only end-user appeal was considered. Security should be in the original design, it cannot be added afterwards. All the other OSs in the lineage suffer from the same defficiency: Windows 2000, XP and Vista. Now MS is selling security as patches, having violated principles of software engineering.

The analogy is designing a big, beautiful house with unsafe hidden parts, such as the foundation and the upper parts, making them not strong enough to counter gravity forces. Now they are selling add-on reinforcement patches at a significant cost. Problem is that the original blueprint has been already so much patched, that there is no way to find all the compromised parts of the current structure. Chances are they may ignore a potential failure that will allow the whole thing to collapse. It is better get out before disaster strikes.

Funny stuff

Yeah, MS is not the cause of 99.9% of the worlds viruses and spyware.

Just like people are idiots for falling for the "one care" protection racket, companies would have to be even more idiotic to fork out more money for the company responsible for the swiss cheese in the first place.

And will be just as good as Microsoft Windows Defender, the one you know that came in dead last?

This is Cool!

Who knows better the ins and outs of Windows?
We first buy the OS and after its security... I knew Microsoft had a
plan to make Vista more secure.
