" Microsoft has been riding the fence between marketing a concept of 
"trustworthy computing" and delivering a product that caters to the 
least common technically proficient denominator. Most products have 
been specifically designed to allow anyone who can click "Next" to 
perform a successful installation, but when it comes to their 
defense of insecure default software settings, they have a 
matter-of-fact way of telling everyone that they should know better."
