 I understand Microsoft's problem. To access the mass market, they
have to make computers easy to use. There just aren't enough nerds to
make a market, but there are plenty of nerds to spoil it with viruses.
It seems that Windows is now so easy, that even dickheads can stuff
the system world-wide.

 How to solve that problem?

 Everyone knows the answer: Linux, but M$ persists in stuffing
around with the wrong answer.
