Subject: M$ Getting Better?

As an instructor, you forgot an important part...

Instructions/ideas on what you think they should do to get better.

What would it take for them to get that "A" in your class in terms of AV and
security? Is there anything that makes sense from a business perspective
(recall they are a business not a humanitarian fund dedicated to furthering
knowledge and technology for the sake of fun)? Or is it simply a point that
it is fun and well accepted to take pot shots?

I would expect seeing the "M$" in your post the answer may be more obvious
than I would prefer. I like thinking instructors teaching impressionable
minds are open minded themselves.

After reading the M$ AV thread I have to give my $2 (inflation)...

Yes, Microsoft is improving... but I like to explain it as follows: 
"If a criminal goes from committing murder to robbing 7-11's does it mean
that they are a good person?  After all, they are getting better."
