    Because Microsoft has never shown any level of success with security.

    OpenBSD however has been able to show a significant reduction of problems.

    Microsoft will never deal with the problem until they can keep programmers for more than 5 years activly writing the applications. Instead they hire people at an early age, get some code out of them, and then shuffle them around till they get bored and uninterested in what they do and they move on.
