I guess you've never heard of the "attractive nuisance" laws. They're what require (e.g.) swimming pool owners to put up fences so that neighborhood children won't be tempted to dive in uninvited. There're also product liability laws that prevent shoddy workmanship in physical goods sold to customers, but so far software companies have managed to avoid getting those applied to software. In any case, MS is *not* the crime victim. The victims are their customers. And to suggest that the open source community is the culprit is so far out in left field that I won't even dignify it with a response. - Dennis Bullard, Claude L (Len) wrote: >You just made a crime victim the criminal. >Smart strategy if you want to encourage crime. > >len > >-----Original Message----- >From: Dennis Sosnoski [mailto:dms@s...] > >Bullard, Claude L (Len) wrote: > >>The same open source environment that creates Linux >>creates Klez. >> > >Damn, Microsoft open sourced Outlook and I didn't even hear about it? :-) > >Let's keep at least a tenuous connection to rationality in all this. > >
