Product recall? Class action suit?
Use of Explorer, Outlook, and even Windows cause these problems due to unaddressed fundamental design flaws in the products.

A while back, Microsoft made claims that security is a high priority. All this time we've waited for evidence that they are doing something about it. All the while Microsoft products, unlike their competitors', have been unable to operate safely in a networked environment.

Now, Microsoft is saying here flat out that they are not going to be fixing these problems. If businesses and end users need a stronger hint than that, then they should sell their computers and give up now.

Now, as before, the onus is on the end user to replace them with corresponding software based on more sound design. Businesses and users need to get past their ideology and choose from the many closed and open source products that actually do work and get that MS monkey off their back.
