Well, that is pretty accurate.  Pick any part of the architechture, the 
window event system, the pervasive visual basic access to system 
controls, lack of privilege seperation for services and a user community 
keep in the dark as to what the machine actually does . . .

Egads, the US government is entertaining a law against spyware to cover 
up the fact that the majority of americans are running a system so 
horribly broken that uninvited guests can render it inoperable . ? !

When will the hidden costs of running such a poor operating system be 
recognized ?
