It seems like MS are giving everyone heavily loaded weaponry to use
and ABUSE as they or someone else wishes.
If someone was to distribute actual loaded weapons to someone who is
almost certainly going to use it to cause harm - would that not be
considered aiding and abetting of criminal behaviour ? If so, could
MS not be considered to be aiding and abetting criminal behaviour ?
Sure they "released a patch" but if there was discovered to be food
poising in some product - all of it would be recalled. Should MS not
make more of an effort to make sure that at least all the boxes of
registered users are patched ?
Just a coupla thoughts
