Casual? I'd say the persistant use of known insecure programming
languages like C and C++ for the foundations of our systems is
anything but casual. And the design of Windows to make it very
easy to execute unexamined and untrusted code was likewise anything
but casual. One is (arguably) criminal laziness on a lot of people's
parts, and the other was simple arrogance on the part of a known
monopolist.
