FBI: Sorry, but Security Vulnerabilities Aren't Microsoft's Fault

[Joshua]

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Carnegie
Mellon University, all the complaints about Microsoft having security
problems are bunk. In fact, a report from the two organizations
specifically calls for all the finger-pointing to stop because all
technology is inherently vulnerable, and simply blaming Microsoft for
everything obscures a bigger problem: Microsoft doesn't own or control
the Internet infrastructure, which is extremely vulnerable to attack.
Furthermore, the report says, more than 90 percent of all
Microsoft-related attacks--including the two most infamous recent
attacks, MSBlaster and SoBig.F--involved vulnerabilities that the
company had already fixed.

I used to live in Seattle...and my buddies and I (many of which Mac users) could not figure out why ppl hated MS and used them for the universal scapegoat. In WA-they pump tons of cash into schools and charities.

My guess would be that no one likes it when the big dog gets too big.

Lucky for me (and a lot of other techies) I'm riding the big dog all the way to the bank!

I'm thankful as hell for Microsoft. Windows on the desktop means job security for me.

But I'll stick with Linux for my own machines...
