I was advised to add the following argument.
" point which appears to have been
missed from beginning to end in that discussion is that Microsoft
Windows has /never/ been fit for purpose, so they absolutely should be
held responsible. The suggestion that just fitting firewalls and av
will make it all okay is so naive as to be bordering on beyond belief."
I am inclined to agree. Third-party solutions (Microsoft even /sells/ one now
-- OneCare) should not be charged for if all they do is fix an
already-broken product. It's as simple as that.
