Whoa there. Cryptography is **not** synonymous with security. Cryptography is a

communications. By cryptography does not equal security.

Windows can be secured. Very easily.

No it can't. You may _believe_ that it is secure, but that is only because it is opaque to you - you simply confuse the lack of knowledge of any problems with the absence of problems.

A simple question: If Windows is so easy to secure and if security is the highest priority at Microsoft (as Bill Gates said it is), why then doesn't Microsoft do this easy thing?
