None of the massive worldwide worms that affected ONLY microsoft products were microsoft's fault. Just because the OS is so broken, that browsing the web is a dangerous excercise is no reason not to use windows, or at least that is the claim.
It is the user's fault for clicking on a link in google that takes him to a malicious site. It's the user's fault if his computer has been reconfigured as a spambot because the operating system is so sievelike in it's security.
The fact that microsoft, a multibillion dollar company was hit hard by 'code-red' and 'nimda' is beside the point. One can hardly expect microsoft to be able to keep up with patching its own systems. Noone else seems to be able to either.
It's the OEM's fault that the OS is vulnerable to viruses, worms, and other assorted threats because they didn't lock down the computer and make it unusable to the intended purchaser. After all, microsoft doesn't have to field the support calls for their broken crappy operating system. That's the OEM's job, who, given todays competetive market, probably made less off the PC than microsoft did.
It's not microsoft's fault that windows crashes. IT's always those crappy third-party drivers. Microsoft only produces the highest quality programs, which is easily shown by the fact that they only have to release patches 2 or 3 times a month on their core products.
Get with the program Swordmaker. It's never microsoft's fault. Some how or another, no matter what the problem is, it always comes down to those evil communist open source supporters and programmers.
No they don't. Microsoft proudly announced that they would have to release no security patches in December because they've gotten things down so good.
No, wait, they did end up having to release some anyway. Oops.
