Yep! It finally strike them that it does not matter how safe you make a system (not that Windows is the safest system around – but it’s over Apple for example http://news.softpedia.com/news/Macs-Are-Probably-Easier-to-Hack-than-Windows-PCs-Notorious-Hacker-Says-155507.shtml ) the human that uses the system will finally have the final word!
With this book (yeah it’s a book – it has 12 chapters) Microsoft tries to educate the young and the old by telling different stories and little bits of computer related histories. It’s a good read and should be handed to any computer user (not only the Windows ones) as it familiarizes the person with terms like computer virus / phishing / passwords / spam/ etc.
