Good one  :D

Hmmm... they wouldn't need to make an Anti-Virus program had they just made Windows more secure. What's the point in that Windows thing that lets you download bug fixes and patch security holes? Oh wait... no nevermind that's free. They probably just want to make a few extra dollars off that. Five bucks says that Longhorn doesn't have that Windows Update thingy. This software is going to replace it.   ;)  

Do you see this? I mean that's like having someone do your roof. Then they say that it's finished next day it rains and it's leaking everywhere. They then come out and say that they'll fix it but it'll cost you. That's just not going to go down very well with most people. You did the job you're supposed to make sure it's done right the first time. Not charge to fix the job you didn't finish. If that's how it is supposed to be with every other thing. Why is it that people don't think so with computers?

I mean a toy that is a hazard to a child is recalled. So why not with an operating system that knowingly has security holes that could ruin your computer... why hasn't Windows been recalled, yet?

Windows should have anti-update software which "sucks" back the faulty software.

Laukev7:
No, someone should make a patch to make the software detect Windows as a virus.

Which makes me think... does anyone else suspect that Microsoft might use their anti-virus to criple their competitors' products? I mean, imagine the possibilities...
