Uh huh, and in a few years well be saying the same about them also.
It's the nature of the beast with programmable systems and
programmer/companies more concerned with moving widgets than getting
them bug free. Granted MS has become the poster child for this, but
that's what happens to the product in the spotlight.
Look at it as acceptable risk vs. profit for them. Lots of companies
work this way and Very few ever get burnt enough to be forced to correct
the model in favor if doing the right thing. Worse, if they do, someone
claims they are stealing money from someone else who offers a product to
compensate for the flaws.
Think I'm wrong? Look into how the EU wants to charge MS with
anti-competitive practices for including anti-spyware for free.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I'm still not convinced that the only response to any infection is a
total reinstall. But I haven't read the article completely yet, so
perhaps I'll come around. But if MS is right, then it's time for
everyone, and I mean everyone, to abandon ship and switch to Apple or
*nix now because if the maker of the product says it's unsafe and
unfixable, then we are nuts to be using it.
