That's just plain wrong. Spyware, by it's nature, is installed along
with other applications that the user manually installs. Download
KaZaa, for example, and you'll find that several other "spyware" apps
are installed along with it. This has nothing to do with security
vulnerabilites.

Obviously, Microsoft has a shoddy record of security problems, but
don't confuse the issue and continue spreading FUD.
