      Exactly. There is no such thing as an absolutely secure OS, but MS has consistently improved their platform, and has made great strides.

      The tech world wants all the profits, none of the responsibility. The whole thing is set up to fail people, but never hurt profits.

      Of course software has bugs. Don't tell me that as if you just learned it. We've known this forever. That's why the set up is unacceptable.

          Who would "we" be? We don't know, because to do so would require predicting the consequence of all possible uses and we're not good at that.
