Microsoft causing PCs to crash unknowingly. How incredible!! Seems that if you throw enough money at something, the risks are overlooked and outright ignored.

How can the people - who elect these dolts who made the disasterous decision to go with a known vendor who has a track record of virus-prone, exploitable, unstable, and extremely over-priced software - hold the government accountable? After all, it is the government who serve the people.

Microsoft only serves Microsoft, no matter the cost, no matter who gets hurt.
