Also as I understand it MS > issued a fix for this sometime ago - it the users who didn't implement it! Uh, lemme see if I get your argument. People who buy exploding cars from Vendor M are at fault when the cars explode, since cars from Vendor M always explode, and Vendor M always disclaims responsibility, since someone usually points out in advance that the cars will explode? I'm not sure that your argument has anything to do with the law or with right and wrong, but in a sort of social-Darwinism sort of way, I guess I'd agree with it. Except the herds of losers who still buy exploding crap from Vendor M don't seem to be thinning themselves out quickly enough. Maybe they're sexually attractive to each other, and reproduce before their stupidity kills them. That would be unfortunate. Or maybe it's just that none of this computer stuff actually matters, so exploding crap isn't actually fatal. Maybe that's it. -Bill
