Who's to blame when hackers hack? Here's who
First, let me make one thing very clear: I don't understand why I have to buy antivirus and security software. Not that I hold anything against the companies that make those products; actually, I think McAfee and--especially--Norton do a pretty good job.
BUT IF ALL this software does is protect me against vulnerabilities in Microsoft's operating systems, technologies, and applications, why doesn't Microsoft just give me the protection for free? Or perhaps as a subscription (I know readers hate the word) that includes operating system updates and upgrades as well?
