Obvious answer
>>>If they have no concern for security...
... then why are they constantly issuing security patches? <<<

They are constantly issuing security patches because they had no concern for security when they cobbled together a single-user, stand-alone system in an effort to make it useful. You know, things like communicate with other machines, etc...

If they were concerned with security then they wouldn't have unleashed such a virus transport platform on the unsuspecting public. Then they wouldn't have to issue several patches per week after making their customers wait months for the patch which, incidentally, is as likely to break you machine as not.


>>>Do you want your patch right, or right now?<<<

Actually I want a machine I don't have to patch every couple hours. I could have that with MS, but that would mean I could never turn the machine on.
