Well, I suppose that -- all other problems having been solved -- the debate
on this topic could be reopened on the floors of Congress.

Normally, I agree with most of what you say.  Just not this time.  There
are so many users who can't even keep their machines from being parts of
networks of spam bots that I think that even something at this level might
have been a bit much for them.

The thing I don't understand is this.  When I went to get an MS Utility to
update/patch (in this case, I think update is the right word) my machine,
it refused:  my machine is at SP1.  I casnnot seriously believe that it
would have taken substantial effort to test the update on SP1
configurations.  So ... why?  Your guess is as good as mine.  Mine?  (I
thought you'd never ask!)  I'm guessing that my machine has none of the WGA
goodness that has been propagated.
