should we blame Microsoft? ... I believe this problem stems from the same source - Windows does not do memory management properly - that is why a PC can be taken over. In my mind it is completely unforgiveable for Microsoft to be sitting on billions of dollars and not spending part of that ensuring that Windows does memory management properly so a machine cannot be taken over .....maybe we should be putting the blame where it really lies ... compromised machines because the operating system is deficient, and archaic networking protocols .... it is a bit like blaming the police if standard house design left out door and window locks!
