Nader is an imbecile. Microsoft is #1 in the desktop world because they made their operating system EASY to use, since MOST people don't understand much about computers. The MAJORITY of people aren't technically savvy so they will pay for an easy solution.

Sadly, this ease of use has led to lots of idiots using computers that are connected to the Internet. As a result, you have incompetent admins who can't secure their systems and allow all kinds of viruses and trojans to run loose -- the bandwith sucked up by those viruses adversely affecting everyone, even those who are smart enough to lock down their systems.

At least when it was hard to use, you could count on the people running things to know what they were doing.

You are right, but they also don't realize that what they are buying is buggy and unreliable either.
