Internet is OK with UNIX/Linux/bsd/ etc
NOBODY suffered any massive virus and worm floodings, no spyware, no SPAMware, etc. The Internet was already there and there was no problem using it.

Only after MS introduced the Trashworthy Computing main tools: IE, Outlook, msSQL, ms windwoes kernel, etc. the Internet started WASTING petabytes in traffic for all the malware flooding it and people started getting their personal data hijacked.

So more appropriately, MS brought the VIRUS, the worms, the SPAM and all kinds of creepleware to the MASSES which IS "a horrible idea.... the internet was way better before MS."
