You are correct, sir. I should have clarified that point better. What I
was getting at is that the problems we suffer through on the internet
are the product of Microsoft's insecurity, not it's market share, though
the fewer people running MS on the desktop, the fewer problems we would
have.

I guess it's the old difference between a quantitative and qualitative
argument.
