> Microsoft's complete lack of any security consciousness is genuinely scary. They control so much of the world's personal and enterprise computing it's not even funny.

So this is funny in a way, because MS had such a terrible and mostly deserved security reputation with Windows...and then they really cleaned and tightened it up. Windows had and continues to have one of the best OS security architectures, and is certainly the best out of all consumer operating systems.

But with the cloud stuff and embarrassing gaffs like this, what the hell happened? New managers and a lot of employee turnover, I guess?
