Original Sin?

All OSes from Microsoft share the same burden, they were born under a bad sign. They were cursed when they chose expediency over thoroughness when choosing network authentication strategies. By defaulting to "connect" rather than "challenge" their software made it easy, relatively so, to connect machine to machine. The user's were not burdened with strict login credentials. Every new OS since then has been cursed, yea unto the seventh generation, with open doors. Hey, come on in!

It was drawn wrong, built wrong, and is wrong, if your standard of right includes only permitting desirable connections. Back when there were no malicious threats in the area where Windows was implemented, this was irrelevant. We have move far beyond those times.

I, too, am thankful for the work and all the good that comes from it. But I don't feel conflicted when I also say that "hangin's too good for 'em" with respect to the criminal, malicious, destructive behavior of those "code-chimps" (and insult to chimps around the world).
