   I'm sitting here eating my lunch and reading email/websites. I stopped
reading through the email (security related mailing lists mostly) when I hit
several of the "Microsoft sucks, they are as secure as a child's playground"
type messages. So, I minimized email and opened a web browser. Pointed it
to a news portal and started reading. Came across this - ' The big bad
Microsoft is trying to use their monopoly powers to crush the competition in
the security market' in reference to xp's built-in firewall and encryption
system.
  People yell at them for not adding security features to their products but
then scream MONOPOLY when they do add security features.

What gives?
