Competent people, such as Richard Clarke, and institutions like West Point, know that Microsoft is insecure. Instructors from the US Military Academy at West Point say they use “as little Windows as possible”. Clarke blames US military use on “a small army of lobbyists” and knows how insecure the OS is but would use the problem to bring government control to the internet and computing. It would be better to continue with the original design of the Internet, robustness trough redundancy, diversity and freedom.
