I fully agree with Jonathan Zittrain's conclusion that we should not abandon general-purpose computers. Alas, I disagree completely with the path that led him to it. He presents serious security problems as an intolerable crisis, but I'm not convinced. Then he forecasts that users will panic in response and stampede toward restricted computers (which he calls &ldquo;appliances&rdquo;), but there is no sign of this happening.
