Microsoft may be sued for poor security

I'd be hugely surprised if this suit won, but I think it represents an interesting sea change! http://reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technologyNews&storyID=3550431 http://news.com.com/2100-7348_3-5086385.html

Yes, it is true Microsoft must do more to enhance their security. Microsoft has a 95% market share of the world's desktop market so naturally they are the main target for virus writers.

The main reason they should start enhancing their security is becase people will begin looking for greater protection in a Windows alternative as im sure some people are already doing.

Linux is becoming increasingly popular and people are opting for Star Office as an alternative to Microsoft Office.

So Microsoft, get your act together!
