Hear hear!

Microsoft Corporate Officers should be brought before Congress as
commiting fraud just as the Tobacco and S&L executives and those of
Enron, Worldcomm, et. al.

Can you imagine what would happen if people's SUVs suddenly would not
start on the 31st day and there was a message stating that they had to
call this 800 number to "activate" their gas guzzling wreck?

Or if SUVs kept stalling on the highway every six months and the only
way to restart it was to haul it into the shop to be "fixed"?

Greed drives the Commercial software industry.

I have a client with a Network infected by W32.Licum and right now they
are "living with the virus" (it's actually a worm but for this purpose
"virus" sounds better). This is just like the Pharma Industry. They
don't what to CURE or to PREVENT they want people to PAY for monthy
PRESCRIPTIONS (read SUBSCRIPTIONS) to keep alive (or WINDOWS running).

It is criminal. It is neglegance.

Windows can be fixed rather easily. Like making the WINDOWS and
WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folders readonly except by verified Microsoft
processes. No application needs to put EXEs or DLLs in the system
folders, they can put them in their PROGRAM FILES folder.

Microsoft is just plain lazy, They make BILLIONS due to shoody design.
So what incentive do they have to change?

What is making things worse are the Mircosoft apologists.
