Post Slashdot // Why Does Windows Still Suck?

RatBastard writes "SF Gate's Mark Morford asks: Why Does Windows Still Suck? After wtaching his significant other's Windows PC drown in a sea of viruses and worms after only 4 minutes on her new DSL connection, Mark Morford wonders why the masses have not stormed Redmond waving torches and scythes in anger over the never-ending security flaws in Windows. Why haven't they jetisoned the foul beast from Redmond and migrated en mass to the Macintosh or even Linux?"

While I agree that Windows has entirely too many security flaws, it is the user's responsibility to make sure they use other means to protect themselves rather than assuming Windows will do it for them.
Unfortunately, most users are not computer savvy enough to know or care about this fact.
It is as simple as not bieng connected when installing/reinstalling Windows, load AV/anti-spyware, anti-adware software, firewall, THEN jacking in to get updates.
