No, Microsoft in it's wisdom loads workstations with tons of insecure
'server-type' code... and we are talking services ran by default! The users
are considered 'too dumb' to do more than point and click, but they are
supposed to config all this crap if they don't want to become anybodies
zombie... go figure! Best I can come up with is it is 'just there' for the
people who want it, but are too clueless to get and install it, or even know
WHAT they want!

Microsoft knows what software you want/need mindset... "where do you want to
go?"

Microsoft is sort of a mixture between the Borg and the
Ferengi. Combine the Borg marketing with Ferengi networking...
