Well I certainly expected something like this. Yes how appropriate that you would expect that this would somehow lead to chaos by making drunk driving legal. Killing someone has nothing to do with this discussion. We're talking about network security. How you made the jump from that to legalizing drunk driving is beyond me. I see no way in which consumers could mandate that drunk driving become legal. If you can't stay on topic then don't bother posting.
I realize this person is researching the topic using all available resources at his/her disposal, but do we really want the government to dictate network security to us?
I certainly don't! Look at welfare. Look at social security. Look at government housing. How long do you think it would take the government to pass legislation on this topic? Come on guys, get real.
As for all you whiners complaining about Microsoft products.....go make something better! Replace them! Quit your bitching, moaning and complaining. This is a republic founded on the principles of capitalism and free enterprise. Don't you think that if Bill Gates could become what he is today, that any of you are capable of the very same thing? Just because you're too lazy to do it is no excuse.
To the lawyer: Tell your Congress person friend to go bark up some other tree and leave this alone. Consumers will dictate to the market the need for greater security in software, online transactions and information sharing. The market will respond in kind because they need the consumer dollars. It's all kind of symbiotic, really. We don't need Congress to tell us how to secure our networks. That is all.
