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)

"Do you know everything about your car or do you trust that GM, Ford, Honda or everyother carmaker had carfully checked everything for you (beside normal maintenance)? When something is considered dangerous for you the driver, a callback is issued and those carmaker are responsible to repair your car, even if the warranty is void."

Sooo wrong it's frightening. Is my car from Honda can be used as normal in safe manner ? YES. Is my Windows from Microsoft can be used as normal in a safe manner ? YES.

Now, is stuff in my car can be stolen ? YES. is stuff in my OS can be stolen ? YES.

Is that so hard to understand for some people on this forum, or you guys so blinded by your hate that you just became fanatics without real logical foundation ?
