Microsoft seeks tax dollars to fix Windows
In this Article, Microsoft suggests placing taxes on Internet usage to fix security breaches…
Unbelievable. Microsoft produces Windows, which has been security ridden since it first entered the Internet. Microsoft has been pay VERY well for their product. Microsoft has not fixed their problems. Now Microsoft want the consumer to play extra taxes to help fix their problem.
I have another idea:
How about we dump the Microsoft garbage and just use Linux/Unix/BSD based Operating systems, and eliminate 90% of those security threats in a single stroke.
How do them guys sleep at night?

Mozilla has launched a contest to spur on development of add-ons for its recently-released Firefox for Mobile browser. Between now and April 12, developers are encouraged to create extensions or other add-ons tailored for the mobile browser. The top ten submissions (as judged by Mozilla's Add-ons and Mobile teams) will each be awarded a package containing a Mozilla t-shirt, phone case, and a brand-new Nokia N900 phone -- which runs the Maemo mobile Linux operating system and was the very first device to support Firefox for Mobile.
