All programs and OS’s have holes and problems, if you made a program that downloaded and opened pictures, and someone was stupid and downloaded a virus instead of a picture, who’s fault would it be? Not the person who made the program, who would be stupid for making a picture opening program in the first place :)

It ought to be Microsoft that is put on trial, and it’s products put under review. They have done little to patch the holes in Windows, and less to insure future holes are not left open. There policy is to write fancy, gimmicky, whirly-gig software that looks pretty but works poorly underneath. There is more to programming then glitz’n'glamour, namely SECURITY.

Mirososoft should have delivered a properly written operating systems in the first place. It has not. Shouldn’t it responsible for negligence?

Shouldn’t Microsoft compensate buyers for providing a defective product?

There is no justice when the law is written by legisrature depending Microsoft’s political monetary contribution for campaigning fund so to stay in office.

At the end MONEY talk louder than anything else.

Don’t blame people; hold them accountable – in the most draconion of means possible. Hit violators where it hurts the most, not in jailtime but in community service time. Let’s start at a minimum 7 years or 14,000 hours for internet havoc, ID theft and other electronic crimes; in essence, make the penalty the same as armed robbery. Press your congressperson for accountability and support.

I thought it was well written. Just looking for the facts. Why are folks so critical these days?
