MSFT does advice people how to use Internet Explorer and MS Outlook (Express). You just set security settings high. This is how MSFT has always worked: One setting is secure, another setting is fast, and the third setting is what people use. This way you can win all comparisons with competing products. Using e-mail the way MSFT recommends, prevents you from sending and receiving e-mails with word files attached. Using Internet Explorer the way MSFT recommends, prevents you from using ActiveX and downloading files. If you do not follow MSFTs recommendations, the doors to your network is wide open. Since MSFTs recommendations are correct, it should not be possible to sue them. But maybe you can sue those people recommending Outlook for sending and receiving files.
