Common knowledge?  pauliusp | 10/13/09
Yes, it's common knowledge that Windows is insecure.  CounterEthicsCommissioner | 10/13/09

Then it should come out of the box that way...  kevin.cline@... | 10/13/09
They have since Vista  de-void | 10/14/09
Yes but..  pdickey43@... | 10/14/09
and both are a pain because of that....  cymru999 | 10/14/09
According to a Silver Tail webinar..  JCitizen | 10/15/09
Yeah, but that's because Windows boxes are everywhere...  chas_2 | 10/13/09
That's not the only reason. 2nd reason is: Windows insecure by design.  CounterEthicsCommissioner | 10/13/09
Technical proof please  sjaak327 | 10/13/09
Want proof that water is wet?  CounterEthicsCommissioner | 10/13/09
In other words, you have no proof. (nt)  Lester Young | 10/13/09
In other words, you didn't get it.  CounterEthicsCommissioner | 10/13/09
So you can't prove it  ITLeader | 10/14/09
He has none... Ancedotes of bad security practices is NOT proof.  Heatlesssun | 10/13/09
It's not anecdotes. It's on a massive scale.  CounterEthicsCommissioner | 10/14/09
Go hack MSN.com then if Windows is so insecure  connor33 | 10/13/09
Lol! Yes!  CounterEthicsCommissioner | 10/13/09
I use Windows 7 and am not limited either.  Heatlesssun | 10/13/09

Because you can be more assured...  JCitizen | 10/15/09
I would be more assured if I lived in a bomb proof shelter...  richardw66 | 10/30/09
