"Microsoft, make fucking secure software"
unfortunatley, it's not that simple, because if it were, microsoft would have the most secure os/applications given all the money behind it. even *nix-based os's have their fair share of holes, with new ones being discovered and exploited every day.
it's not just a matter of writing your sofware correctly, but using VERY strict coding standards. some of the most basic security holes are found by simply overflowing a buffer, so the thought of writing the perfect os w/ no holes isn't just daunting and overwhelming, it's damn near impossible.
with time factors aside, if a car theif wants to get into a car, he/she is going to get in one way or another. it's the same with hackers/crackers, except time is not an issue for them.
