" 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."
