Quiller YOUR AN IDIOT!!!

First of all you dumbsh*t, I dont condone writing viruses and I beleive in punishing those who do. Microsoft has had over 10 years to fix thier code problem and has YET to get it right. They would rather slap on more functionality and applications forcing us to patch reboot, patch reboot, patch reboot while they do nothing to fix and secure the code of thier OS's already out there. I'm not being selfish, I'm being realistic!

What you fail to see here is that MS IS THE PROBLEM!!! They refuse to fix the biggest problem of all and that is bundling and bolting applications to the OS. Windows would be a fine OS if MS stopped bulking it up with other crap most users do not even use. Get rid on the prime problem of ActiveX which is what most virus writers and spyware makers use to infect our computers. We shouldnt have to patch and reboot our systems 3 times a week if MS would get off thier lazy A**es and fix the worst problems with thier OS software. Security should have come FIRST not last.

This is only another attempt by Billy to shift blame away from his responsiblity to make Windows secure for its users. NO! He would rather start a witch hunt than fix his crappy software.

If Mircosoft hadnt stiffled competion and created a monopoly based on greed I doubt hackers and virus writers would even be interested in writing viruses to infect computers running Windows but, as long as the flaws go unfixed Microsoft makes itself a prime target and deserves what it gets until they secure the code of thier OS's
