But the point is not that nobody in the PC community cares about
security, but that there are *lots* of PC users who either don't care
or don't know enough to care. As a counter to the argument "nobody will
buy a system without security," the portion of the PC community that
doesn't bother with security - for whatever reason - serves quite
well.
