No, I think Windows as it currently stands is unsuitable for the general
public. Windows as it stands is fine in an environment where a corporate
admin can look after the network. It's not the users fault, it's the
fault of Microsoft because the configuration is insecure by default.

Windows as it stands should have at
least the software firewall on *by default* and almost all services
(most services which home users will never use) *off* by default.
Finally, MS has decided to listen and will have the firewall on by
default in Service Pack 2. Security researchers have been saying this
for *years*, and only now is it being done.

Besides, what does any of this have to do with aircraft displays? Who gives
a hoot whether an Apollo MX-20 has its firewall turned on or not?
