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.

half the worlds problem are not even Microsoft faults. Errors in design of open standards gave us spam (flaws in SMTP design), DOS attacks (flaws in IP design), phishing thru cache poisoning (flaws in DNS design). And don't forget the great security design of telnet, ftp, and NIS. The early days of computing and the internet were truly far more innocent days. Computers were rare and slow and only the good guys had access to them. 8 megs of ram was considered awesome. Encryption was jumbling letters around. Technology has since evolved but it takes time to make all the necessary changes. Give Microsoft a break, every system they have released since Windows 95 has gotten dramatically better.
