Playing down Microsoft deficiencies

"Unfortunately, people are still not thinking before opening an (e-mail) attachment. Every time a new virus comes out, people go out and do the same thing they shouldn't be doing," said Mike Breth, IT audit manager for the Westfield Group.

-- Yes, there's an education offensive going on al right. Users need to be taught that when the system they are paying a fortune for is no longer useable for the simple task of sending an email or an attachment, it's THEIR fault for being stupid. Doesn't matter that the simple functionality offered by email has been rendered un-useable by Microsofts not-fit-for-purpose Operating System.

Users of Apple OS, Unix and Linux OS's don't have to worry about clicking on anything, and that's how it should be. This drive to make the user see themselves as stupid everytime another Microsoft drop off spreads another Windows specific virus, is typical ploy of a cash rich monopoly who have no intention of putting right THEIR problems.

No wonder the world is switching to Linux.
