Software Security Rant

I can no longer contain myself. A stock expert on one of the finance channels touted Microsoft products as one of his picks for secure software. In other words, buy the stock because they have really secure products.

Don't ever listen to a man who labels himself as an "expert," and thinks Microsoft has secure software. Some Microsoft products might be a little more secure than nothing. Not only has this giant been historically loose in security matters, their prominence in the industry often makes them a giant target for hackers, spies, as well as other forces of evil in the universe.

While UNIX-based and Mac systems rarely contract anything like worms, viruses, or spyware, several entire industries have been spawned from Microsoft's inability to protect its end users and servers from invasions! (Perhaps I should write that book for lay people. Be very afraid!)

I'd like to get another laptop, but am already paying $50+ a year for each of my other three computers in an attempt to make myself safer.

Microsoft might be a good stock pick, but I don't know any geeks types who would pick them as a security leader. I use some of their products because I don't have other viable options. The world, especially America, has already been indoctrinated. MS has marketed themselves into being the software of choice for many industries. Please note the fact that they became industry leaders because of excellent marketing, not quality or security.

"Secure" Microsoft products might be just as big a threat to our national security as open borders.
