What about mass email worms
Your system could be infected (that is unless your running M$ cause it is flawless and impervious to any kind of attack) and start mass emailing across the net...the next thing you know your billy boy is there to take your house becuase you dont have enough money to cover your emails. then Microsoft will push on with their evil empire and expand into real estate...then they would take over the weicharts, and the century 21's...I mean why stop with just software.
