You didn't notice all the security problems that Apple does not want to deal
with? You didn't notice at all that Vista showed in real life to be the
safest of all? You just hate Microsoft because it is Microsoft? You did not
notice the first huges leaks that are found in Open Office? Dream on.[/QUOTE]

No, not necessarily just because it is Microsoft but because of my beliefs as a developer. I think that any software company that quadruples the required resources from one version release to another is just insane. Also, Microsoft runs off of a complete power trip and chooses to do everything different than the rest of the world for business reasons I am sure. One example would be IE and the way that I have to check which version I am dealing with when using JavaScript and especially AJAX. This portrays a lack of backwards compatibility with a complete disregard for the rest of the development community. Most other companies, when made aware of issues like this, try to correct them.

So yes, I do believe that something should be done about companies that are run in the manor that MS is.
