But I'm with Microsoft on this one. They shouldn't be forced to guarantee the quality of their products. If people use them and lose their data its their fault. Its not like alternatives don't exist. And its not like Windows cannot be made secure. These people are just too lazy to do things right. They are stupid and deserve what they get. But I do believe these people should be humiliated publicly for using Windows and losing their personal information. The more publicity this gets the more people will consider OSX, BeOS, Linux, GNU, BSD, etc. The media is extremely biased, so perhaps it too should be criticized for even mentioning Microsoft as being secure, each and every time they say it.
