Not retrospective so MS would have to withdraw old OS and IEs and everyone would have to buy new.

We do seem to have a bad legal system where bad laws are made by clueless people.
These laws are then not verbatim, but are interpreted, first by the Police who again have a lack of knowledge and then by barristers, judges etc, who by career definition are not IT professionals and therefore haven't a clue.

Best idea is to ignore the prerequisite for evidence and ship all our cybercriminals off to the states where they know what they are talking about. Damn, appears TB is already one up on me on that one!.
