Desktop operating systems inherently insecure...

Have you ever wondered why your Desktop and other consumer based computer operating systems are so insecure? Have you ever asked the question that maybe it might be designed this way?

And have also asked yourself, could it even be further thought of that all of the virus, drive-by downloads, trojan horses, hacking, sql injection on servers and many other exploits are easier because the operating system is weaked by the average user that does not want to the basic network security, computer cleaning up and protecting it.

I am going after many different operating systems, not just your average Windows flame. Linux, BSD, Apple and many other options have these same problems. How much time have you spent on additional time, money to download or install software, hardware to plug bugs, programming errors, secure systems from infection, cut out programs to plug your operating system from further infection.

An person who owns a computer for any length of time has to do this on many different operating system levels. And please do not tell me that this does not go on any platform, because it does. Even DOD - miltary systems are not secure. Watch the news and tell me how your average human being can get around their security. Do a search engine search?

And that comes down to my original comment, WHY are Desktop operating system so inherently not secure?
