Tim Mullen, 2004-02-02

Microsoft can end the scourge of e-mail viruses by ending its support for old software, and the clueless users who refuse to upgrade.

Come on, use a little imagination.

How do you force a few million clueless Win9x users to install a newer system?

Well, have the next virus wipe and repartition their harddisk. They are too stupid to install an OS anyway, and use whatever they use because "it came with the 'puter".

Wipe them clean and force them to install from scratch, i.e. ask someone else to do it for them. With any luck, most of them will get a more recent OS.
