COOL!! Who lives in the castle?

Apalling! Why aren't the large companies, such as IBM, doing anything about this?

Nobody really OWNS the Internet. So it is not really up to the big companies to police it. If they would there would probably be all kinds of 1st Amendment lawsuits.

I realise that but IBM, Compaq, Dell. etc. are surely powerful enough together to try and persuade MS to get their act together.

I think you should really be mad at Microsoft for creating an OS that
is a virus haven.  I just read an article last night about how MS says Server
2003 is the most secure OS they have produced.  The article goes onto say that
MS has just released its 4th patch for the OS.  And Server 2003 has not been out
that long.  The 4th is a critical patch that, guess what, fixes a security hole.

I believe this, but, although I am permanently mad at MS, I don't have the funds or the time to take them on and they certainly wouldn't listen if I asked them nicely.

Best wishes
