The United States is a country that has gone through at least 2 shooting rampages by students, one of which took place at a university.
Anyone who believes that even vaguely credible threats involving students or faculty on school grounds will not be investigated is simply too naive or stupid to bother with.
If Windows only ran on MS-built/branded hardware, they wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
But Windows runs on generic hardware created by other companies and MS used their OS monopoly to force OEMs to do things their way. That was what got MS into trouble.
Apple is not forcing any other company to do things their way in order to sell their own products.
WIndows NT 3.5 existed at the same time as Windows 3.1 and had most of the same security features as Windows 7. The NX bit had not been implemented by Intel, so it couldn't support that, and the UAC stuff is not really needed for security. It's just a shortcut for getting admin privs without logging in as admin.
Really the recent changes in Windows security has been in guiding the user to more secure practices, such as not logging in as admin.
So laws regulating advertising are OK, but other laws aren't? You are just cherry-picking the Government regulation that you agree with. That's hypocrisy.
There is no such thing as a free market. There never has been. There never will be. Ever.

And one day maybe you won't be an idiot.
Apple DOES NOT HAVE A MONOPOLY.
No amount of wishing will change this fact.
You are an idiot.
What Intel did is sabotage.
If you cannot understand this, you are too stupid for words.
You are an idiot. Truly.

You are clearly wrong, in general. Most adults take no responsibility for anything, much less words.

Are you stupid on purpose, by habit, by reflex, or just plain dumb luck?
But it seems he wants to have his cake and eat it.
Everyone wants to have their cake and eat it. That's generally the point, after all.
What you meant to write is: he wants to eat his cake and have it too.
Bottom of the ocean seems to be available.
Port forwarded? running with good FPS and low lat?
What century do you live in?
Well, your definition of deprecate obviously doesn't match anyone else's.
Hint: Deprecate is not a synonym for remove.
But then how will it do 3d?
None of the 3d techniques that use glasses will work when viewing through only one eye.
I know the GP was going for funny and you were going for flamebait, but I figured I'd point that out anyway.

You mean "if no one puts up...". It's rather naive to think that this information is not available just because YOU never posted it.
The best thing to do would be to have the FBI agents and Judge killed. And their families and their friends. In public. By rabid, starving dogs.
I hope your lungs melt due to cigarette smoke. It's a fun way to die!
You do not understand the meaning of the term.
Viruses and trojans have existed since the days of the original Apple, Commodore and Atari home computers. The days you allude to never existed.
Probably for the same reason 0ld d0g hasn't embraced intelligence. It's not relevant.
Let's ask various countries in Africa how having "multiple competing entities hostile to each other" is working for providing a basic quality of life.

Get over yourself.
For the most part, the only thing I do on my Windows PC is play games. And browse the net, occasionally, or while playing games.
For everything else, there's my Macbook.
Perhaps it's because you are 100% wrong. That is, you are 100% wrong. But that may not be the reason MS isn't liable.
1) How is being a stupid, ignorant, piece of crap not your fault?
It's more like you're a total idiot and you post to slashdot.
MS cannot prevent you from making your PC not boot. Period.
