Soup to Stew ~ it all boils down

So far the plague of viruses has been limited to pranksters and
spam generation. How long will it be before someone hacks
together a really damaging payload to drive through the
enormous system wide holes in Windows?

A simple del *.* command coupled with an unpatched hole in
Windows would bring down millions of Windows machines and
cause billions in damages. It's only a matter of time before this
happens.

The soup Windows users are in will boil down to a stew before
Redmond can get a secure OS on the market.
