Microsoft wants us to pay them to (not) fix their own security problems
WOW! This is fantastic: Microsoft’s security chief suggests ‘Net tax to clean computers.
Notice that the security chief said “You could say it’s a public safety issue and do it with general taxation”, WOW! Amazing! MS created the whole malware/spyware/virus universe now they want you to pay for the privileges of being infected ! How nice of them!I almost burst into tears! They do care about our health, ha!
This is really unbelievable. MS wants everyone else to pay for their flawed OS, actually they already did it, now they want everyone else to pay for it’s security “features” again, with a more blatant “Internet usage tax”, even those who are not using their garbage system. I just wonder how did the security chief kept straight face when talking about “Internet usage tax” for their own security problems.
What next? Here is the news for all of us: MS spokesperson announces “‘Net Tax” is not enough to fight the global malware/spyware/virus pandemic, we’re running huge deficit, the tax rate will be hiked to compensate all the work done by MS. Sounds familiar? Yes, wherever there is government, there are corruptions, anything MS touches, it corrupts, looks all too familiar.
How do we fight all these parasites? Education is the key. When the people know better, they will do better. All I can do now is to recommend GNU/Linux whenever I have a chance. A few days ago my boss came back from a business trip to China, he used his laptop in China for a few times, and he was running IE on Windows, lately his machine found to infected by spyware deployed by the Chinese government. Before this incident I tried a few times to get him put Linux on his laptop but failed, this time he’s asking for more information about the Linux thing, especially the security features. Though no decision yet, he’s considering get a Mac or just put Linux on his laptop.
