Another meaningful metric of the abysmal level of (im)maturity of Micro$oft crapware.
Yet the behemoth continues to prosper (well, IE's successes are largely due to M$' predatory and indecent practices which caused Netscape to be brutally kicked out of the market; practices which haven't been sufficiently sanctioned).
Maybe security can be utterly neglected; the market is unresponsive to failures in providing secure products. Sad things is, customers are left alone in all of this, they pay to buy products filled with bugs, and no one (NO ONE!) really cares.
