You said, "Everyone hates Microsoft. That is a fact and very often without reason".

I don't.

I'm not in Asia, but I doubt if Asian countries are the only ones where PC users don't have anti-virus protection. in fact I know it is a world wide problem.

Who's to blame? Where do you start? Cheap computers, 2nd hand computers, unscrupulous software, unscrupulous vendors of pirated Operating Systems, ignorance, people who won't pay for anti-virus protection, people who can't afford to pay?

I agree with what I think you are saying. Microsoft isn't the problem. It is the people who use it, (and abuse it), who are the problem.
