Come on now, they're making some progress
They are short, rickety steps for sure but MSFT is making some progress on security. XP SP2 is better. I still don't think friends let friends surf the internet with Windows, but it's showing some movement in the correct general direction.

What's more significant to me is how long it's taking them. 10 years and they still don't have it right. Holy institutional inertia, Batman! Is there anyone who seriously believes MSFT can compete with the speed of light innovative process that open source allows?
