Well, I think Micro$oft $uck$, not because of the '$', but because, though a bug in RPC (remote procedure call) processing can expose a computer system to mayhem from the outside, Microsoft's misuse of the call gate structure inside the Intel 80386 core to create Active-X, 1, goes far beyond RPC, 2, was intentional (not a bug), and 3, has lead to rootkit viruses. In my opinion, it bordered on criminal behavior and has jeopardized United States national security. I would not use a Microsoft product for anything that connects to a public network.
