Fighting the worms of mass destruction (Economist)

I smell the old misconception here that we need to stop people misusing their
communications, and that most people attack Windows products just because
they are so common. This is a blatant lie from the security business. Most of
the security business centers around firewalls and anti-virus software, which
people need only because many products out there, most notably Microsofts,
are so severly broken. I had this feeble hope that this year's attention to
computer security would lead people to stop buying those. How wrong I was.
They only buy more security products, to little or no use.
