If you truly believe that statement -software always will have security problems - then you indeed make a good shill for MacroSleeze. Software tends to have 'bugs' (design criteria for error s/b "MINIMIZE", not done in M$ case...), and old-timers know to keep patch-level current for a given release of commercial software - *but* M$ is supposed to be producing "consumer goods" a la Atari (games), NCR (adding machine/calculator), and TIMEX (clock/calendar/alarm), etc. -- If any of these companies/products performed "out-of-the-box" as poorly as Windows/Office/etc., The Products would've been returned & we wouldn't be using the name as a commonly-used item -- they'd have gone belly-up.
Or were you simply Trolling for responses?
