I've no problem with that.  I've no problem in believing that it can be made 
secure.  My problem is in accepting that people who neither know nor care 
about risks are just let loose.  No attempt is made to educate them - 
although I really don't see what can be done there.  There's plenty of info 
available, but it needs the user to take the initiative.

I'm not saying that all windows users are monkeys - far from it.  I'm just 
saying that those with the monkey-mentality can and do use windows, to the 
detriment of more responsible types.
