I can see sueing the writers of the virus, but why sue a business or
businessman for a virus he did not do? I am afraid I am not part of the
"New American" way of sueing everyone. Place the writers in jail and
eventually the size of the problem goes away. As for MS and Gates, just
have folks not buy.
But then once MS is not a dominate program the hackers will just write
programs for thte largest used program. Folks seem to think that Macs
and unix boxes are immune to virus programs. Not true. It is just that
the payoff is not there as there are way fewer unix machines or Macs
than MS based machines.
