But shouldn't MS be held responsible for the ridiculous ease with which
these people can compromise Windows software?

And the only way to get their attention is to make Windows more
difficult to use on the 'net, ie. find a way to identify the machines
and shut them out.

I already block all mail from Outlook unless it is from a known person
or list, and there are ways to make websites inaccessible to IE (there
must be, if there are ways to do the reverse), which I am going to look
into.
