Where do you draw the line though?
I'm not sure where you draw the line. But I do know you better draw the line at least as high as your competitors. Microsoft, and most OEM PC vendors provide support for virus and malware removal. Apple better do the same if they want to remain competitive.
And as I said, when it came to integrating our Macs at work with Active Directory, Microsoft was more helpful than Apple was, even though Microsoft has no obligation at all to support Macs since they have nothing at all to do with Mac's Active Directory integration.

Where do you draw the line though? I've seen users cause plenty of stupid problems not even related to hardware or malware. Is the distributor of the OS responsible for that too? What is worthy of their time and effort?
