I say that vendor liability is the answer to many problems.

I have to pay to secure an insecure product? OK. But the first breach for the smallest amount of time in whatever way for whatever reason and I get my money back ten fold each and every time I think that happens. No? Then how much better would I be off then I am now? And then why should I pay for that "service"?

And to all you Microsoft partners out there that still can't see the signs on the wall. The only future Microsoft has is your grave. You have been warned, again. It really is time to go multi vendor. Don't put all your money on a single horse. Even the best stallions will be retired some time. As history has shown time and time again.
