I think they should do this to everyone! Send your mechanic to jail for not repairing your car correctly on the first try!!! Just kidding of course. wouldn't it make more sense and be cheaper to build a task force (real one) that actually finds and punishes virus writers. I would love for all os's to be 100% secure but everyone knows that is impossible. No matter how smart the dev team is. They are not smarter than the rest of the world who are trying to hack it. Yes open source makes things a little more secure because more eyes are on the code. But there will always be that one little piece of code that only a handful of devs ever look at. I think that if these criminals were actually hunted down and punished for writing viruses and scamming grandmothers. That would help out more than this idea. Take that guy who was doing kiddie porn. They un-morphed they pictures and were able to get a positive ID on him. If that kind of work was put into hunting down virus writers and Nigerian princes they would disappear. just my $.02
