Feds Working to Stop Worms

It's unbelievable that our government would pour all of these man hours into a problem that is easily fixed: use a secure and open alternative you damn retards. To compound the problem, this is something that Microsoft, the vendor, should be doing. They aren't. They never have been. They hardly ever proactively fix anything themselves.

Tax payers shouldn't accept their government using all of these man hours and dollars to make some private company's software acceptable for government use.

Microsoft should be dropped outright, because second or third best shouldn't be good enough for our tax dollars. DAMN such examples of utter idiocy and extreme mis-management of funds by government makes me angry.
