Personally I think Microsoft wasted their money with their built-in security software, and should have just ignored it.  In fact, they&#x27;re wasting money pouring resources into security patches.  They should just leave security holes wide open until they feel like getting around to fixing them, if ever.<p>Think about it: all this stuff is costing them money, and that reduces their profitability.  What is it gaining them?  Nothing.<p>Why?  Simple: if customers get pissed off, what are they going to do, switch to Linux or Mac?  Maybe a few, but the vast majority will just put up with it and gripe and complain.  They&#x27;re never going to leave Windows, so it would make sense for Microsoft to screw them over.
