I personally find these comments astounding, these are so called professionals who are looking to protect the income they obtain for services based on exactly these issues! I praise microsoft for offering an 'optional' service to users who are not tech savvy enough to address security on their own pc's without assistance. Name one system that does not have security issues, even Firefox with 'more security than IE' has suffered some serious egg on face with critical flaws, so it's not just microsoft! If you guys can do better lets see it!

What was achieved there is recognised to be of fundamental importance to both winning the war (Churchill visited to say 'thank you' to them) and the development of the computer. Maybe Bill Gates doesn't want to support this museum because it underlines where electronic computing started i.e. here, not the U.S.
