Ed Black, the CEO and president of CCIA, whose members include Microsoft competitors such as Sun and Oracle, was even more blunt. "Microsoft's monopoly threatens consumers in a number of ways," he said. "It's clear it is now also a threat to our security, our safety, and even our national security."

sounds like a pretty biased study to me especially when members of the CCIA belong to such companies as sun and oracle who are out to get microsoft.
If I had a choice between using the latest sun OS or windows 3.1 I'd take 3.1 cause sun sux. I use java applications at work and tell me why in the world does java need to take up 187 megs of ram for 1 freaking program?

All software has bugs. They should all be sued

have to agree with alot of it though, m$ does have huge security flaws, how many critical updates and patches have they released this year alone.

at least they're patching it

it'd be a grave concern if they didn't give a damn
