Bugs expose Microsoft's lack of responsibility | |
|

Another week, another security flaw shows up in personal computers running Windows.
Many PC owners were caught off guard by the most recent attacks, known as "Blaster" and "Sobig." Many people opened e-mail attachments, only to learn they were infecting their PCs with malicious code and spreading a virus. Others found their computers shutting down unexpectedly.
Frustrated, virus-plagued PC users might wonder why Microsoft isn't being deluged with lawsuits stemming from vulnerabilities in its Windows operating software. Despite Microsoft's much-hyped "Trustworthy Computing" campaign, flaws in Windows have allowed hackers to strike computers around the world.
If other companies are subject to lawsuits arising from product defects, why not Microsoft?
