  1. Blame! by frankxcid · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I've seen so many post with the theme of Microsoft patching something, the cause of which is themselves. Why is there no blame placed on the author's of the viruses. I will wager that these virus programmers can and will target any OS that gets too popular. I believe the blame should go to the virus writers and those who will send their bank account numbers to any one who asks in an email. On the other hand, 40 % of my revenue comes from these people. Thanks virus, and spyware writers!
