A “faulty” operating system is the fault of the user and the user alone. Even Linux can be easily compromised if the end user doesn’t know what he is doing (i.e., runs as root, etc.).

This is why I've been going off on this thread about the users and the "appliance" mindset.

I would like to know what you were thinking when you said that, instead of just writing it off completely. I suppose if you were talking about original purchase of an OS that doesn't do what you want to do, I could agree with ya.
