It may be too late to express my opinion, but I am going to do so anyway.
Microsoft is a company like any other company in this world. They are not perfect. I admit that I have criticised Microsoft a few times and a few other companies (Symantec for example) but wherever you go you'll find criticisms. It is true that Microsoft do make quite a few mistakes but they do fix them and notify you in a convienient way.
I don't use Internet Explorer, because I used to use alternative browsers such as Netscape and Mozilla on my old Windows 95 and I got used to them and found them a lot faster than Internet Explorer. Vulnerabilities don't affect the browsers capabilities.
I wouldn't dream of switching to an Apple Mac or a Linux, I'll stay with Windows as long as Microsoft admit their mistakes and fix them.
Safetsurfa, you make it sound like you have created an Operating System yourself and Microsoft is competition. If everyone shared your views, I'd expect to see much more viruses. Thats exactly the kind of thing that will go through the heads of virus writers, trying to get revenge on a huge company that makes money.
