> Microsoft did something weird and now emails can give you a virus.
This whiplash struck me in the late 1990s, yeah. Had to revise the advice I was giving to loved ones.
What an obviously stupid decision by MS, surely everyone who says they want security will abandon this single program that makes them uniquely vulnerable, and use any of the others that don't have this flaw.
The growing horror as I observed exactly the opposite trend, has never left me.
