Software folks are like "It's 10+ years old! It's ancient." No, your software is running infrastructure with 50 year span. Have to find way.

Arguing it's not Microsoft's problem to maintain XP security is not the same but on the same side of history as arguing against seat belts.

Our approach to security is failing; internet of things is going to fail even worse (not even means to update). Have to change all this.

People arguing "many to blame and the whole ecology is messed up!" I agree. I wrote that. Piece focuses on what few big players should do.

And Microsoft's EXTRA cash hoard of $100 billion isn't irrelevant. It's partly there because we let software be sold "as is", no liability.

Microsoft better about security recently and is best positioned to lead fixing a chunk of this problem. And everyone has to change approach.

I think describing it as "let them sink" is wrong. How long do you throw a rope at them before you give up? CIOs made choice not MS.
