Why does there seem to be a wide variety of trouble like this with the M$ operating systems? Is it because of:

- sloppy (buggy) coding
- M$ more accessible to hackers because M$ runs on PC's
- scalability issue, M$ windows started life as a single user system vs. Unix was designed as a multi user system
- faulty logic
- M$ operating systems have gotten very large, giving more access points to hackers
- some other reason

It seems strange that as M$ operating systems are a single source paid for system, they would be more vunerable than an open source system like linux/apache. I am not knocking linux/apache, it is just there are two completely different ways of bringing an operating system to market and M$ doesn't seem to have the better way.
