Story: Windows patches may become automatic

•

Here we go again: A major U.S. firm hops on a crisis of its own troubled doing to further its own business ends, much as private power interests, having overloaded U.S. power grids for profit, now want the public to make up for what they caused in the first place.

Microsoft made the insecure Windows OS; that does not imply a requirement that users be forced to accept patches--patches that in some cases now change the digital rights status of the PC, as is the case in certain Media Player updates.

Governments should instead force Micorosft to fix its extant product, not hand MS holus bolus an excuse toi further tie up the end user.
