Well said...There's many other examples that can be made on such things. ie: You take your car in to get the fuel system worked on, and it blows up killing you and/ or someone else. You think saying that it was your fault for putting fuel in it is going to float?...

No one expects everything to be perfectly working all the time. But its also not an unreasonable one to expect responsability being taken by a company for their work either.

One of the reasons I think this is "snowed over" is because of the pull the Microsoft has. You have to wonder how long the Governments are going to keep allowing these things to happen. This could have been far worse then what it was. For that fact it may well have been/still be. Anyone with any computer knowledge at all can see that. How much information was comprimised with this? No way of knowing, its not like any of the governmental bodies or large corps are going to admit their systems/information were comprimised in such a way.

If things like this are allowed to continue at the expense and blaim of the people, then all were doing is setting oursleves up for the next one. Hopefully it won't be coded by someone with knowledge and destructive intent.
