We don't let people drive cars without some proof that they know how. We don't even let them neglect the maintenance any more (think emissions inspections.) Why should we let people use computers with no training, no awareness of the potential trouble spots, no idea what they're getting in to? That's insanity. And that's why we have hundreds of thousands of infections with every new iteration of a worm or virus. And IT people contribute to the problem by throwing up their hands and saying that the users don't want to learn or can't be taught. They *must* be taught. There is no other way to solve the problem.
Well, there is another way but I don't think anyone wants to go there just yet :)
