You might as well blame Ford for drunk drivers. I agree that Outlook
shouldn't expose its address book, and there's slim reason to
encourage the naive, easily-fooled hordes to click on executable
attachments, but it's far easier to lob criticism than it is to design
full-featured mail programs and operating systems that are
virus-proof.
If MS would just give us the source code, we could fix it for them.
