With Windows Vista coming out, all the analysts agree that the hardest
thing for Microsoft to do will be to convince people to shell out the
money for a new operating system. Especially considering such a large
portion of their target market doesn't know or care what version of
Windows it is running, nor would they know how to install a new
version. Lucky for Microsoft, they can keep making license money from
all the people who buy new computers. As the New York Times reported a
few months ago, when a computer becomes overwhelmed with viruses and
spyware, many users are likely just to toss it and spend the $400 on a
new computer (Microsoft tax included)
[HYPERLINK@it.slashdot.org]
So keeping Windows insecure, causes it to become virus and spyware
ridden, which causes idiots to toss out their computer, which means
they have to buy a new one, which means Microsoft makes more money.
IT'S (evil) GENIUS!!!
