    Amazing. Unix seems to have very few virii, the ones that do exist don't propagate very far. Why did they design Windows to be so different to a system that has infinitely better security?

    Why don't virii ever crash half way through buggering your machine?

    Ease of use and all that Windows was designed for comes with a pretty hefty price in the area of security.

    When you create a system who's fair share of users are computerly challenged, it can be easy to overlook certain holes that would not be found by a novice.

    Not an excuse, just a reason.
    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.
