How about we just skip posting a new message every few days about different
holes and get right to the point:
Microsoft software is chock full of huge security holes.

I don't know about anyone else, but in our office we haven't seen any need to use
any Microsoft software for the last eight years, so I'm really puzzled by why people
do, especially why they spend close to a thousand dollars total buying Windows, then
an upgrade for Windows, then Office, then Outlook, etc., then the Pro version of
this or that, when they could have better, more stable, and FAR more secure software
absolutely free. Weird. Just plain weird.
