Microsoft just endured one of its worst years ever when it comes to security problems, which is really saying something. And to top things off, it ended the year with a near flood of trouble--from new viruses attacking Outlook to holes in IE 6.0 to vulnerabilities in SQL Server to a serious hole in its "most secure" operating system, Windows XP. Whenever I bring up Microsoft security problems, someone is bound to say something like "They have the most problems because they are targeted more than anyone." There is a bit of truth in that, but the company could make life a little harder for people who are targeting it.
