Windows can be secured
It's just not what people want. People hate security because it's a hassle.

Now Microsoft by no means makes it easy to secure thier product but it can be done. Another reason why joe average can't secure thier Windows XP is they just don't know how to and couldn't care to learn how to.

So can you blame Microsoft for all these security problems when it was the users out there that demanded simple and easy to use. Simple and easy to use equals no security.

So those victims are the problem and Microsoft is no prince for giving them the tools cause these problems.
