Story: Cyberterrorism a reality 'in two years'

• 
• 

If we continue to place buggy, insecure and unreliable software like Windows in mission-critical areas like air traffic control, banking and nuclear submarines (!!!??) then we are just opening the doors to cyberterrorism.

At the moment it is impossible because the systems used aren't connected, and those that are can't be hacked BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT WINDOWS! Windows was meant for the home, for word-processing, for spreadsheets and presentations. It was not meant to be secure, it was not meant to keep out hackers. Unfortunately Microsoft market it as such and governments are swallowing it hook, line and sinker. The American DoJ nearly saved us by crippling Microsoft a short while ago until the case was kneecapped by Bush.

Please stop the madness, before this headline is proved right.
