security breaches of Windows (note, clean up, they can't fix the problem --
nor do they have any incentive to since it would put them out of business).

free enterprise,'' said Cash McCall, "but when one of our citizens
show enough free enterprise to pile up a little of that profit, we do
our best to make him feel that he ought to be ashamed of himself."
