Oh, and this is rich. From the guy who uses a quote about Wikipedia taking open source too far, he then writes an article about how Windows users should be switching to Linux or OS X...
You're point about Wikipedia is completely ill-informed. You pretend to "know" technlogy (Dr. Gizmo pen name, Technofile Web site, etc.), but then you write things like:
"I believe Microsoft should take full responsibility for the faulty design of Windows and recall every last copy of Windows ever sold. Buyers should get a working, safe, secure operating system in return."
I'm as irritated with the MS platform as much as the next guy, but I also understand the way that software development works. No matter what happens with the MS OS, there will ALWAYS be someone trying to hack it. Should MS take more time and pay more attention to security holes? Certainly. Should they cease selling their product until they've fully "fixed" the OS? Yeah, right.
This is great and all, but how long did this take? I fear that they've simply gotten all they could get out of the free publicity this was providing to help solidify the name "Viagra".
Yeah, cause that's really a genius idea... take away from the kid's education to give to the RIAA for a bullshit claim. LOVE that idea!
OK, that as sarcasm. That's the dumbest idea I've heard in a while.
And while the parents may end up paying the fine, whether it's the kids or the parents responsible can likely determine the amount of the claim that would be levied against them.

Yeah, good plan buddy.
