   Yes and no.  The basic *design* of Windows is fraught with flaws and 
security issues.  Is it even possible to write a secure piece of 
software for that platform?

   Well thats true, but on the other hand, marketing departments all 
over the world "encourage" us to give them our money...but that doesn't
