Story: Symantec blames VeriSign for Norton AV woes

You will see more of these events affecting all software using security.
The failure of one affects the whole chain.
You want more secure software, that takes more than one company, unless you want a megamonopoly. And even though one company is affected by errors of another, it doesn't make the first company responsible or liable for the faults of another.
Ok, so you want to change software. Alright, which is better? The one with the interface you can't use? How about the one with no security? Perhaps the one that can't find half the viruses?
Sorry about ranting, but this isn't an issue of Norton (or whomever) Sucks. It's an issue of the interelated web of software 'security and trust' failing, and the end users whining at their lightly scalded hand rather that the fire that did it.
