In my opinion, more of the blame should be directed at Microsoft for their lack
of planning and security. I am just amazed at the amount of viri spreading
lately, and NOT 1 has affected me using RedHat Linux. Given the resources
Microsoft has, there is no excuse for these types of problems. For every new
'feature' they release it seems to cause more problems than it's worth.
I don't hate Microsoft, I just think it's about time they took some initiative
and fixed up their horribly buggy and insecure products. Honestly, how's a guy
supposed to go out and buy legos when this happens!?
