There was nothing provoking in bricat's response to you, safetsurfa. He was expressing his opinion just as you were, as is his right!
I would hesitate to guess what operating system you are using, but I have heard your arguments before on many a forum, and the arguments that you put forward, in your own words, are bulldust.
As BurrWalnut points out, all businesses are there to make a profit, and if you look at the mission statements of virtually every company, if they have one, is to be the best at what they do. They do not start out as a philanthropic venture. The difference between Micro$oft and other O/S is simply is that they are simply the easiest to use of all those available, they are very good at marketing and they try to provide what the user wants.
You say that the product is flawed, of course it is, it is written by human beings. When human beings are perfect, present company excepted, then we might get the perfect product.
Are you saying that Chubb Safes are a rubbish product? No, but thousands get broken into every year. Do I hear you expressing anger at Symantec in their quest for global domination of the security market, No
Of course, people are going to try and break Micro$oft code, there's no point in attacking Linux users, crackers and virus writers aren't going to get the attention that they so desparately crave, by attacking 5% of the worlds' computers users.
Bill Gates himself said that he could have Windows 100% secure but nobody other than someone with an IQ in excess of Einsteins would be able to use it. I don't know about yours but mine doesn't come anywhere near close to that, which would then exclude me from this incredible world of computers. I would be prepared to assassinate the person who did that!
Please post your query to the boards as many hands make light work, and I'm not talking electricians! If your problem is solved, let us know so that others can learn.
