Who said anything about voluntarily?
If my employer wants me to use shit software and consequently be less
productive than I could be, that's their lookout (boom boom!)
And anyway, the recent email worms all relied on the stupid user to open
attachments, often jumping through a million hoops on the way, to
replicate. They didn't use holes in the software. But hating users is
the topic of other places.
