Good point SunSpot, but what if the technology being promoted is known by MSFT to be dangerous to users yet
continues to be promoted for their own business purposes in a monopoly environment?

As I said in an earlier post, MSFT is being very quiet about this whole mess -- there is more to this than meets the eye.

JMHO

There are quite a few stories of loss arising out of the ILOVEYOU virus incident. Given the litigiousness that has become a national pastime in the U.S. I would not be surprised to see manufacturer's liability lawsuits arising from this incident.

Perhaps there are opportunities here for ambitious law firms to initiate class actions on behalf of the many parties who have sustained loss. I can envision that individual firms might press such suits as a measure in response to claims arising against them as a result of the virus.

I'm not a lawyer nor am I an injured party, so on my part this is purely the uninformed speculation of a layman uneducated in matters of law.
