In my 25 years as an IT professional I have never seen so many security problems– or as many problems of any kind– with any platform except Windows.

Want to eliminate 99.9% of your IT problems of every kind?

Don’t use Windows.

Use anything else but Windows.

It’s really just that simple.

It must have the teeth to disconnect any country that does not comply from the internet.

A Tier I backbone ISP will not take a commection from a peer network that does not force security software and checks on its customers computers. This would ripple all the way down, and is easy to contracturally implement. Could be done without new laws... Would however require ISPs to cut off PCs/PDAs/Handhelds for good (or at least until re-certed) that don't comply. Would also isolate non-compliant ISPs. Answer to many of the issues is simple.
