Why is it, so incredibly hard for MS to completely patch
s/w that is so commonly used in the business world and so much $$$$ of the users are at stake?

``A new, yet-to-be-patched security vulnerability in Microsoft's Excel has been exploited in at least one targeted cyberattack, experts warned Friday.''

The biggest failure is Microsoft's, but of its users who fail to hold her accountable and put the appropriate pressure TO FIX their code!

Who in his right mind wond demand more secure s/w and platform than this Mickey mouse/Barbie one? When will the users put pressure on MS and DEMAND them to FIX their code and TAKE RESPONSIBILITY of all these extremely lengthy sequence of failures?

Worse yet, the "new" MS PC "os" Vista, ALREADY HAS SECURITY ISSUES to be addressed, even BEFORE it is completed! How's that possible?

Why would MS invest in Vista, which offers NOTHING NEW really and STILL HAS SECURITY problems and NOT
just FINISH THE TASK of CLEANING UP their XP on which SO MANY resources have been spent?

The age of massive confusion and masochism...
