Law and Order Microsoft has a little liability problem called Windows. Many are no doubt aware of a would-be class-action lawsuit launched last week in California. The suit targets Microsoft over security problems. The plaintiff is a woman who had her identity stolen. Details are here. (NYTimes, free registration required)

If the EULA can be broken

Perhaps we can get MS to pay up for all the lost productivity in the workplace due to Windows, word, etc crashing and having us lose valuable work time - not to mention reboot time waiting, screwing with the machine, etc. I'm a Mac OS X user now, but when I did use Windows, I can't tell you the amount of lost productivity I had. Microsoft, IMHO didn't care *because* they are a monopoly - they had no incentive to fix.
