Once more we cry "monopoly"?

Microsoft-haters, abetted by the sleazeballs at AOL, Sun et al, now have an issue they can jump on. See News: Report: Microsoft dominance poses security risk. The study in question was paid for by the same folks who invited know-nothing congresspersons and judges into the software industry a couple years ago. What government lackey really has the knowledge to actually create software and systems any better than Microsoft (or Linux developers, or Sun developers)? Yes, security is a problem and yes, MS is the prime target -- mainly because it's used by so many, and because the company is successful. While it may be true that the ubiquity of MS operating systems is part of the problem, it's also part of the solution -- i.e., fix a hole in one place, and it's fixed everywhere. Why should MS suffer for its success? I don't like everything MS makes, either, but I DO have choices, despite the Gates-bashers.
