On Tuesday, Microsoft posted a patch to its web site designed to prevent the problem, known as a memory leak. This error has plagued Microsoft's Tablet PC operating system for a long time. In addition, the software giant has promised not to charge for security fixes, but will charge for virus protection.

Well, I guess that's fair. Norton and McAfee charge for their virus protection updates, and if Microsoft didn't charge they could be sued for trying to create a new monopoly.
I'm sure Microsoft would work harder on plugging holes if they were giving out their virus definitions for free, though. So many upgrades, so much work.

Does anyone else think that there is something inherently wrong with this sentence? They have to PROMISE that?
So they screw up, and someone/they even implied that they could charge to fix somethink already broken? Ooo scary.
