The Erik quote in my .sig is there to show just what a MS apologist he
is. It is an absurd statement but he knows MS SW is incredibly bug
ridden and full of security vulnerabilities. Hence to make MS look
not so bad he makes such statements.
As for MS's onecare, that is just daylight robbery. I have little
sympathy for the anti-virus companies as they have probably done more
to prolong the dominance of the Windows crap. Now MS want to kill them
off as they see a great earner from a product that attempts to cover
the weaknesses of their, insecure by design, OS.

Security is one of those funny things. You can talk about being "more"
secure, but there's no such thing. A vulnerability is a vulnerability, and
even one makes you just as insecure as anyone else. Security is a binary
condition, either you are or you aren't. - Funkenbusch 1 Oct 2006
