Didn't MSFT blame the users for the *insane* number of problems in IIS, Windows NT 4.0, and Internet Explorer's willingness to execute just about anything? And for allowing unsigned, untrusted ActiveX components to execute? And for any number of other non-transgressions caused by BROKEN BY DESIGN software? This sounds all too familiar. How long before they change their tune? Days, weeks, months or years? |

Yeah, you gotta love that. "Our software is secure! It's all the users' fault! They're too stupid to use it right!" |

I thought Windows machines came with warning signs next to the power switches: "Warning: Activating this switch can cause system instability" |
