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.
