You obviously don't know anything about computers. I have been a developer for over 20 years. I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy, but I have to say that many of the vulnerabilities are not necessarily bugs in their code. Often times, vulnerabilities are good intentions gone bad. For example, Microsoft may allow developers to do some neat feature in I.E. Then the 'evil-doers' in the net, will exploit that 'neat feature' for ill-will. Also, check out the 'SQL Insertion Exploit'. That is a very devastating exploit of MS SQL Server, that is really the fault of developers, not Microsoft.
