How about
the MS browser ``feature'' that allows REMOTE code to get installed into ones PC, code which can then scavenge for personal info or simply log keystrokes and hijack passwords? This feature is enabled by clicking at the appropriately LOOKING web page.

If technoless audience is one of the primary targets of MS s/w, why is this destructive feature allowed to REMAIN in place for such a long time? Am I unreasonable to question the intention / abilities of the vendor?
