The only question I have is: Will any of these latest Windows security fiascos finally get the rest of you to join me? I mean, how much punishment are you willing to take?

Sadly, no. people are generally clueless to the extreme about computers. Just look at the number of people still wearing face diapers like idiots. I have been trying to tell people how amazingly insecure windows is for ages.They don't care. In many cases, they just have no idea at all how bad it is.

One would think businesses would care, but they don't. Even in the face of strong alternatives, they won't even think of abandoning windows because of institutional inertia.

“One would think businesses would care, but they don’t. Even in the face of strong alternatives, they won’t even think of abandoning windows because of institutional inertia.”

What I found is that many are locked in with contract agreements. Especially those who cannot do it themselves and have to rely on 3rd party security/IT service providers.

And the security/IT industry is not very keen on destroying the demand for their services by actually setting up secure and reliable systems that never break. They operate on the drive for job security so that they will always have problems to fix and keep them working.
