How much is to much? Why should my clients have to pay again?

I really think MS has gone a little too far with this. Eight of my clients
have had a problem with this new fangled validation tool. The first 3 have a
bill totaling just over 600 dollars. The other 5 are on the calender for
Monday, and if is the same amount of time as the other 3 there bills will
total over 1,000.00 dollars. How many others are there spending the same
amount or more? And from what I understand there is already a "hack",
"workaround", or "fix" out there in the wild that is going to cause MS to
redo the tool, to protect there investment. Well I want to know why MS
thinks it is OK to screw the little guys out of money just to protect MS? I
have one client that is going to look for a new tech because she doesn't
think I know what I am doing. She could not get updates, and blamed it on
me. Microsoft, hear me: MOST PEOPLE DO NOT READ THE NEWS ABOUT PC AND
SOFTWARE!!!!!! When something goes wrong it is MY fault, not yours, MINE.
You can keep playing around with this validation crap and help me to move
people to Linux. I am in charge of keeping my clients up and running and
feeling safe. Please start thinking like I have to and you will win in the
end.
