Easy on the MS-bashing guys - this is totally reasonable.
A denial-of-service attack is always way easier than actually breaking
their security to read or modify data. I'll bet cutting their power lines
wouldnt count either.

And BTW, MS sell lots of good apps that dont suck, except that they wont
run on a decent non-sucking OS. Even MSIE sucks less than Netscape.
