Re: C'mon Bill...seriously I don't say MS is pure evil and I totally agree that M$ is getting really tiresome.
However, IE is not vulnerable, it's your computer? Have you been living under a cave for the past 9 years? First of all, there have been so many ActiveX bugs in IE (actual security holes that were not the users fault and could be exploited by the user going to a site). How about a very recent exploit that affects IE primarily (but also other browsers, except Opera  where a user visiting a site can see a completely different site in the address bar (with the padlock bar fake and everything).
That's just IE. Windows has had plenty of buffer-overflow attacks and remote elevation of privileges that had nothing to do with a user. While many of these could be prevented with a proper firewall/router setup, MS is certainly not in blame-free; after all, it's their product that had the whole to begin with (and how about Blaster. it can potentially infect your computer before you have a chance to install a software firewall or a fix for the problem)
So before you start answering these trolls, perhaps you should review a little bit of computer history so you can talk a little bit more intelligently and don't sound foolish when you say MS is great and we should be thankful they gave the GUI to the masses (the masses being those on x86 for you Mac fans). Linux was actually created a year before Win 3.1 was released, although it wasn't GUI. If Win 3.x hadn't been released, you can't possibly believe we'd still be using a pure CLI, can you?
