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)

Re: To most of the guys

I see more and more people arumenting their position by using analogies. While this is effective, it is what I call the cheap and easy way to pass ones ideas.
Come on guys, you're all pretty educated, why not use some "Real" arguments to enforce your positions?
Analogies are not always so focused on the discussion. It's always easy to include some "Sophiste" sentences in their (those who took some Philosophy lessons will understand).
Let's stop saying: "well if windows was a car/building/anything then why wouldn't I etc..."

Cheers,
