| This article covers a minefield of "security" issu
The following sentence illustrates just how difficult it is to address the issue objectively:
As the maker of Windows XP, Microsoft has the responsibility to supply its costumers with a quality and secure product, at least in the minds of Windows XP users.
This makes no sense... or, alternatively, it means nothing (and by that, I am not trying to make a cynical comment about XP customers' minds), or, alternatively, it means that Microsoft are intentionally creating a userbase of misinformed, naiive junkies.
The heat that Microsoft is now weathering is a consequence of their attitude earlier on in the industry. If you boast that your <insert product here> is the best, and it isn't, then be prepared for criticism, backlash, consequences. And when you have a huge userbase, you'll have it's contingent of blind followers, and they'll follow the noisier convincingly-spoken anti-MS protagonists, just like they followed you, when you boasted so convincingly. What that means is, while a lot of the heat they're copping now is warranted, a lot of it is just noise.
