What Mr Ballmer would do to have a safe work environment!

In this article, Allchin is quoted saying that Ballmer and MS’ top engineers were stumped by how their creations were taken over by malware and could not recover from it. So, being business savvy persons, they are now touting their online virus scanning etc service for a price. Why would people want to continue to pay money for alleged software and then more money for fixing it? Why can’t the so-called best engineers in Microsoft actually built a solid environment? We know building operating systems is a hard thing and quite frankly, anything beyond DOS is hard to do. That is why the whole idea of a open development environment in which tonnes of eyes have a look at code instead of just the annonited few has merit and has proven to be true. When will they learn?
