correct analogy
``Windows was made before the Internet became part of everyday life. Windows was just starting to go beyond the local LAN when the Internet hit us. It isnt like Microsoft designed Windows during the Internet age. It wasnt as much of a problem when Windows was being built.''

So, you pretty much claim that it is the SAME unsophisticated windows code they are still using in their 'modern' NT (!) OS?

I would not disagree since this is pittifully correct. But you need to grasp that it is as if you are trying to justify a car company which sells steam engined cars as 'modern technolgy'
