Andy Martin of The Committee to Fight Microsoft on Tuesday announced his intentions to block Microsoft from releasing its Windows Vista operating system. Martin intends to ask Microsoft for an unconditional warranty that the operating system is free of bugs that could result in security vulnerabilities. He argues that no company in America gets away with selling a "defective" product the way Microsoft does.

Then if a product is defective it must pose a heath and safety risk, would you trust Vista if it powered a life support machine? Of course not, the man has a good point.
Also Microsoft could learn from Debian for stable releases.

Member since:"You are assuming the same logic should be applied to Microsoft and Red Hat/Novell, ignoring the fact that Microsoft is a monopolist and Red Hat/Novell isn't."
What heck having monopoly has to do with this? I tell you: it has nothing to do! It only means they can't do this and that. I mean it's just juridical term.

By this guy's logic, Red Hat and Novell shouldn't be able to release their own distributions of Linux until they can guarantee that their products are that good. What this clueless idiot misses is the obvious fact that Microsoft does in fact handle these holes. Each patch is the equivalent of a small product recall.
