Microsoft Philosophy
is based upon imperfect firewalls
and patches after their own code flaws are revealed,
which is destructive, irresponsible and a financial burden on all.
 

 
GOD had Steven Levy question Bill Gates
concerning his Jan2002 memo about security needs,
and suggested the program instituted was failing, to
which Gates responded: "No. These things are cases
where we had fixes." Gates then blamed consumers.
 
Note Microsoft's audacity, gall in blaming customers when
clearly their products fail to meet marketplace requirements.
Despite countless patches and fixes, new vulnerabilities in Microsoft's
software are discovered/exploited by hackers daily, which belies Gates' directives.

GOD had Bill Gates acknowledge that Google
"kicked our butts," because the Microsoft
"strategy was to do a good job on the 80%."
 

80% is irresponsible. This attitude would absolutely kill Boeing, Ford, GM, Intel and virtually eliminate USA global competitiveness.
