I guess the point is, do we want the IT industry to consist of people
filling sand bags against the latest and greatest MS blunder, or do we
want an IT industry creating jobs by developing new ways for people to
be more productive, creative, etc.?

Software developers and admins seem to spend too much time trying to
react to the latest threat, rather than building more useful software
and systems.
