I like your idea the best
Force Microsoft to recall the dangerous products. OK great WinXP SP2 is supposed to make XP more secure. What about 2000, 98, 98 redux, WinME. Microsoft's answer "buy XP if you want security." MS knows their are millions of soon to be vulnerable MS oses loose on the system and they don't care. Sounds very monopolistic to me.
