Claims that the WMF vulnerability was an intentional backdoor into Windows systems makes for an interesting conspiracy theory, but doesn't fit with the facts.

But why do we regulary USE a closed-source insecure OS? Why not make our choice to Open-Source ones? The answer is much more simple than the question itself - Windowsi is targeted for a common IDIOT, not for a intellectual user. If you want YOUR OWN system tunings - it's already available in Unix'es for at least 10 years... When the middle-statistical IQ of regular user will increase - Windows-like crap will die immediately because of no soil under their feet... This 'backdoor' - it's just a part of big RemoteAdmin/Backdoor/HackMePlease suite we're still buying - Microsoft Windows.
