Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS | |

These days, every Windows computer is a war zone of viruses, Trojans, spyware, and other malicious code trying to exploit security holes in Internet Explorer. One of the scariest of all, Download.Ject, discovered in late June, worked to log keystrokes (usernames, passwords, PINs).

The comment in the Wired article that references a ten year timeline appears more rhetorical than a real timeline. "We're two and a half years down a much longer road; it's more of a 10-year timeline."
Translation: This is gonna take forever! |

Yup. That's exactly what the article said. No need to actually read the article. The headline is more than enough.
Nothing to see here. Keep moving people. |

#10,
In an article while back that said Microsoft recommends Firefox. That's why programmers are using firefox. See the article here: http://slate.msn.com/id/2103152 |
