Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools

rscrawford writes "CNN reports that Microsoft may charge extra for security software. So first they edge their competition out of the browser market, then they tie IE into the OS so tightly that a crash in IE can crash the computer, and then they make IE so vulnerable that just using it is hazardous to the typical computer's health, and now they want to CHARGE users to fix it?"

That's why Apple has it exactly right. You can use a Mac like a toaster or TV.

Yup, Apple did it exactly right that no more then 3% of the population agrees with their exactly right. I can think of no point in the past 5-10 years that more then 3% or so of the population has thought that Apple did their hardware/software exactly right. I would think that if Apple did it exactly right and the population agreed, then it would be Apple and not MS that had the massive desktop market share.
