problems
can you truly blame the home users entirely? they are basically duped by marketing and propaganda. yes they should learn more, but how are they supposed to know that they need to?
i think a good part of the blame lies int he marketing machine behind the industry that has told people that they can have computers, get high speed internet connection for cheap with no worries.
heck.. not even Microsoft can keep up with all of their patches on their own servers... do you expect techno-ignorant people to be able to?
