Wrong question
When did we become a society where stealing is acceptable? I'd really like to know where some of you live so I can walk into your house and just take whatever I see that I might want. Since none of you seem to object to stealing it shouldn't be a big deal.

Has nothing to do with it.

Nobody worthwhile approves of burglary, but if Schlage shipped a lock that was made of papier mache they'd get the same kind of ridicule.

Microsoft is asking the world to trust data security to them, then they guard their own "crown jewels" with a kludge. Are you suggesting that everyone should politely pretend that Bill doesn't have his fly open?
