Good for you. I received about 200 Megabytes of spam in the first month of 
this year, this seems to be more than ever. Most was filtered out by 
Spamassassin of course.

RE: I'm thinking about suing Microsoft

I think there is a problem where a version of XP downloads the security 
patches automatically, but does not install them. This does not lead to 
increased security, because most users are gnorant of security patches and 
would never install them manually.

Microsoft Update where they mostly have the genuine windows verification

management stuff.

Popularity is a factor. But the real vulnerability is that Windows can
be more secure if it has the patches. If Linux for example restricted
it's seurity patches to only licensed users they would have the same
problem. I'm not saying either that MS should be compelled to distribute
any upgrades for free. Just secutiry fixes.
