Sun, with Netscape's cooperation), established a carefully researched "applet" security model in preparation for delivery of executable content through the browser and subsequently, email.
Microsoft, desperate to preserve their desktop hegemony, entered that "executable content" marketplace with *none* of the security research.
The result is one of the most flawless examples of disrespect for one's customers that I have ever seen. In 30 years as a developer, I've never seen an organization flout their responsibility so flagrantly. Outlook and IE deserve their insecure reputations based on Microsoft's need for marketplace "dominance" with zero regard for their customers.
