Making M$ liable is a bad idea. (Score 1)

It is a bad idea to make M$ laible for bugs in its software. Yes they will get sued and probably clean up their software a bit, but eventually someone is going to have something bad happen to their computer from open source software. Then, they will sue everyone that they can think of (aka the all the people who worked on the project) and open sorce hackers will be held responsible for their software too. Thus screwing everyone.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
