Microsoft OS’s are used on PCs and servers throughout the world, and whether accepted or not MS are seen as representatives of America's overwhelming power in the world. Which, unfortunately, makes MS and its OS users a target for any malevolent individual or group with an actual or perceived grudge.
Therefore, it is somewhat incredible that when MS add extra features or applets to its operating systems it also leaves or adds gaping security holes in its products. This makes Microsoft vulnerable to any group that either wants to steal its ideas or compromise its products, while it’s customers are open to all sorts of on-line attacks.
It is obvious that MS should security test its applets and added features, by an independent company if necessary, before releasing them to users.
