I was just happy to see someone finally calling out the craziness of different passwords for every single site and rotating those passwords every 6 months because its just not feasible.

I agree with some parts, over security like forcing password changes for all users is laughable, 12 minutes to compromise an unpatched computer is laughable. I would suggest M$ works on making there os a little more secure. Implying that it is pointless to train users is also laughable. the criminals will go to the easiest money. so giving up on the users will only encourage and then grow the hackers biz. There are a few good security programs and devices that reduce the need for users being trained. I was surprised that none were not mentioned, oh M$ doesn't make those. lol Honestly i was expecting some new M$ solution to be recommended at the end of this M$ researchers paper.
