There are not 50 people constantly banging on a Cadillac trying to get in 24 hours a day. If we lived in a world like that people would want a secure Cadillac. Trust me, corporations that depend on MS want security, not features.

I concede that the 'NEED' for security is real. However, say a corportation buys 1,000 copies of 'Secure MS Windows' and there is a market for 1,000 other such companies, that is only 1 Million copies of market to please.

We are quite aware that the individual is quite content to buy Symantec or other Firewall software (or a router) to solve the issue, not spend the major bucks to purchase MS's Enterprize software.

Thus, it is simply reduced to a market equation. Tweak existing software and make major bucks vs. re-write software and lose money.
