Microsoft Corp. is no courthouse newbie, but one consumer's lawsuit just might be abrasive enough to scrape off some of the software giant's Teflon coating.
A Los Angeles woman claims that Microsoft, under a new California law, has an obligation to bolster the security of its products."
Microsoft in trouble again...
I have to admit that I'm almost sorry for the Redmond Gang. I'd say that it's near impossible to write a program that some other person can't abuse and operating systems are at the top of that heap. Microsoft is a bigger target than anyone else simply because Windows is so widespread. I also think that the constant load of lawsuits is their own fault. I'm quite sure that if they had shown a different attitude over the years in customer relations and the EULA's they've done their best to shove down our throats, then they'd be facing a lot less criticism.
