The biggest problem with Windows

The biggest problem with Windows is Internet Explorer. The security model that Windows uses, which has been plastered over the cracks like spackle, is exemplified by IE, and the whole ActiveX/Browser Helper Objects/Add-ons disaster that it now has. I prefer to never willingly use IE, only Firefox. Just doing that makes the machine much safer. [Link]

Sorry for the long quote here, but just reading through what this adware programmer was able to do to under Windows is just stunning. Because of what this programmer was able to do, I'm half in awe (like splitting a program to run parastically among other processes) and half in horror (because there's no single “process” to kill).

Wow …
