It's one thing to not have gotten around to learning something; it's
another thing entirely to ignore a technology and not have any intention
of getting familiar with it. Someone who writes software for a living
without understanding how to securely share secrets over email *and is
perfectly happy with that fact* is doing something wrong.

That's actually illegal to do with OS X. Anyway, the problem with
Windows isn't that we don't know what's broken; it's that nobody with
the skills to fix it has volunteered to help.

I tried to do this; see my response to Nurullah Akkaya. I wish it were
feasible, but it is not.
