Tim Mullen, 2003-10-13

The proposed cure for the Internet's security woes might help Microsoft competitors, but it would only make our security problems worse.

What free market? 2003-10-14
Anonymous (1 replies)
The problem is the software market isn't really free. Microsoft uses their monopoly position to prevent other options from being explored. Dell and several other companies, for example, have been intimidated by Microsoft out of offering other operating systems.

As long as Microsoft can use strong-arm tactics to force people to buy their software, they'll have no reason to improve security.
