As for security , there are more hackers in the world than MVS

MVS applications do not normally run user-supplied code; m$
applications do. That's the main source of all of those exploits.
I'm not sure I follow you there, Shmuel. If an installation
writes their own applications (not so much today as in the
past, due to pre-packaged off-the-shelf apps), that's user-
supplied code. Or do you mean "user" in the end-user kind
of interpretation? If so, I'm not sure of an example of a
MS app running user code.
Ah, wait. do you mean, for example, macros in Word documents?
Kind regards,
Add to that the number of m$ applications that are tied into the OS
and security breaches are inevitable.
