Michael, You're welcome to keep your data on your own trusty PC. Lots of people don't want the bother or the responsibility. Be that as it may, the consumer has been harmed by defective and unsecured products from M$FT. It's as though they sold the Taurus without any door locks and a poorly-designed engine. If customers were content to use their PC's for games & Word Processing that would be ok, but M$FT wouldn't be able to sell new O/S's that way. No. They have to advertise more & more features to get the customer's attention. The fact that the features don't work as advertised and you could drive a tractor-trailer through the security holes means that if there were a competitor M$FT would be forced to go back to the drawing-board and publish products that actually did what they were advertised to do. That would benefit the consumer. That's what the DOJ lawsuit is all about.
