Q: The subject of this article is of low quality. So, why is this article featured?
A: The featured article status is awarded to those articles that exhibits professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. The nature of the subject of the article has no effect on the criteria. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Featured article criteria.
Q: Why does the article lead not say "this product is awful" or "steer clear from it"?
A: Wikipedia's mission is to introduce verifiable facts about its subjects fairly and objectively, without issuing orders or giving advices. Therefore this article avoids subjective words like "good", "bad" and "awful" and imperative sentences like "steer clear from it". Instead, the article presents the test results of various reputable independent test labs, which as of June 2013, show a protection score as low as 1 out of 6. When it comes to subjects related to Microsoft, maintaining objectivity and avoiding imperative sentences are very important. Saying "Microsoft product X is superb" probably infuriates a hard-boiled Microsoft critic, who already thinks it is quite to the contrary. Likewise, saying "steer clear of product Y" merely antagonizes a Microsoft fan.
