Why fault Microsoft for making products that are
popular and common?
Becuase they make worthless manure, that's why!
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.
It's rather like blaming Ford for equipping their cars qith worthless tyres
which explode when stressed.
A short list of M$ Outlook's crimes:
*HTML pollution
*HTML/Javascript "virus" weaknesses
*Non-standard reply headers like SV: and R:
*Upside down replys without proper attribution lines or quoting tags
The second point is only destructive for Outlook users themselves, whereas
points one, three and four are making the net a less pleasant place for the
rest of us.
