I think you meant your first line to be

"All OS vendors should bite the bullet and re-write their code with security
in mind."

Not sure why you singled MS out for that statement. Especially considering
the rest of the post.

M$ should just bite the bullet and re-write windows with security in mind,
give it a true process scheduler, multiuser
with windows as a client server processes.  Build in 256 bit encryption and
secure communications between processes and external communication with no
unencrypted traffic.  That would shut down a lot of these mindless bugs.
All mail should be encrypted and point-to-point, with the mail servers only
able to re-direct and broadcast mail with authentication.   Maybe we could
slow a lot of  the hacking down  and spam.  But again until the market place
demands it M$, Linux and everybody else it's business as usual.

Keeps us employed I guess.
