Virus Outbreaks: Are They Microsoft's Fault? | |

The pursuit of software sales, they say, puts any creator's products at risk as they introduce more complexity and utility. And while there is a growing fear that Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows XP will enable hackers and virus authors to do even more damage, security experts say the software giant has increased its focus on security and has become a leader in responsive measures. | ||
