As much as I hate, loathe, and despise Microsoft, there's always going =
to be someone/something out there that is "the worst". Eliminate the =
current "worst", and there will be another one right behind them.
I do believe that Microsoft is directly responsible for trillions of =
dollars/euros of damage done to economies worldwide, due to their lax =
security practices over the years. Their advances have only come at the =
cost of great pain on the part of others, and they have been kicking and =
screaming all the while being dragged into the modern world.
The rest of us will continue to bear the pain and anguish that they =
create. That's just the way things are. Not the way they should be, =
but the way they are.
