Re: Windows on the open internet

"...You need to be a highly trained professional to lock-down Windows to make it "sort of safe" on the open internet..."

Ever heard of a "firewall"? It is feature that's build into routers- and modems the last decade orso...

Besides, why shouldn't "consumers" hire a professional IT-technician to improve their home-network? Home networks have become as complicated as many company-networks with all their different internet/network connected devices and OS's.

Instead of complaining, use this opportunity to make a buck or two.
