The problem with Microsoft is not that they were poorer developers when they did the mail clients. The problem is that they tried to be too smart. They made a give away product with many handles that could be used for their own marketing ambitions. It has been very difficult for them to plug those afterwards and they have acted a little bit like the famous Saddam, when the handles are discovered they try to find a solution. No wonder that the hackers have a field day with them and the customers big problems.
