I still want raw sockets and I do want a powerful scripting language. What
I don't want is a powerful scripting feature where security is an
afterthought like the scripting available in IE. I'd like to see Microsoft
learn something from the past 8 years of virus infestations, from melissa,
from all the things that have proven that security needs to be considered
as important if not more important than checkboxes on the sales brochure.

I'd like to see them treat the news of monad "virus" as a wakeup
call that monad is already becoming a target, not as a PR issue.
