Don't you just love it. I think the whole idea of security should be addressed this way. If you want a bike that everyone loves; has a bell; a basket; cool gold-plated handle-bars; nice tread action pedals; Michelin tires; reflecting spokes; an odometer;... then you set yourself off to likely be ripped off. So the best bike is one that has slightly flat tires; crooked handle-bars; a stick for whacking people out of the way; hollow pedals;... I believe that is Microsoft's answer to the security risks in Windows. Make it so dysfunctional that no one would want to use it. Sound like a plan?
