Come on man, yes MS has to focus more on security, but dont blame MS for everyones security problems.

Its known fact that windows gets daily attacks BECAUSE 95%+ of the user base has windows. Common sense.

I challenge ANY OS to have a 95% + user base and not deal with the same security challenges that windows must deal with. I said it before and Ill say it again. Linux will have to face those challenges as it becomes more widely used by the public. It was foolish to assume that Linux is more secure simply because its based of Unix.

If Unix had a 95% + user base it would face the same challenges. I dont care what any Unix geek says about that.
