How did it _decrease_ the security? I didn't get that conclusion from what you said...
Sure, there is a way to do it without asking, but it requires a user to put the software on their system.
There is no security patch that will cure stupidity.

The end user doesn't need to know how to use it. If a file is not safe they receive a warning.
Please do not compare the violence of 1968 with what happened in 1999.
1968 was a very complex and sensitive situation and IMHO was only made worse by the police actions. The police were there to crack heads and were an overwhelming force.
1999 was completely different in that ALL the violence began in the crowd with breaking windows and looting. If anything the police were outnumbered and ill-prepared for the violence (Seattle protests are normally peacful).
Maybe because he prefers Windows? You could just as easily ask why so many on here have Pro-Linux and Anti-Microsoft posts?
Saying someone's ideas are suspect (they are hiding something) because their ideas do not agree with yours is the whole problem with us humans as a group...
We don't converse or exchange ideas, we just spout our rhetoric until one side or the other gives up...

I think both Linux and Windows have their strengths and weaknesses, but my point wasn't to get into which is better. I use each for different reasons.
My point was, every time one of these discussions comes up, just as with politics; people start spouting their beliefs without listening.
Which is better, MS or Linux? I don't think that question will ever be answered, not to everyone's satisfaction.
Actually it's more like this: Me: "My Radar Detector is draining my battery!" Mechanic: "Get a better Radar Detector."
