    Can't have that. People can't be held responsible for what goes on in their computers. After all they're big magical boxes and the public is just so stupid.

    I think this is a problem only MSFT can solve.

    Well, here in Argentina the first answer when you call tech support to complain your connection isn't working is: "You've got spyware. Reinstall Windows and install an up to date antivirus+antyspyware".

    Of course, when I answer: "Er... I have a Mac" the answer is "Uh... I don't know... did you try restarting?"
