The PC users have lost billions at the hands
of Windows software. And this at a personal and corporate level. Personal live ruined. And who do you think pays for the cleanup and attempt at securing IT in the corporate world? You and me.

Many banks run on windows. Small hospitals and Dr's. offices. Gov agencies. etc. There is plenty of mission critical system's running Win and MS is actively pushing for more.

If every Win PC failed to function tomorrow, economic and socialy, the world would experience a global catrastrophy.

Microsoft is in a position which gives them the ability to crater today's society. If you think not, hang around a while. You'll probably see it happen.

If anybody ever needed accountability, its Microsoft.
