It all comes pre-installed in new Windows versions you know ;-)

But I do have such as standing. If I as a third party suffer from the fact
that someone is using a faulty program I should be able to sue someone
(the poor bastard that uses Outlook probably). Anyway, this is IMHO a
highly irrelvant discussion since it only applies to people in the
US. Even if I would try and sue someone in a Swedish court (or any
European court for that matter AFAIK) the best I would get would be 1000 USD
or something like that (100USD would be more likely IMHO) - if they would
even bring it up that is.
Someone (sorry I forgot who) mentioned the women who got several millions
from McDonalds - that case was just a "proof" for many here that the US
legal system is completly weird and needs to be changed. I think they
laughed in Austria at the absurd ammounts of money that they got sued over
after an accident involving several US citizens lately. Sadly they are
getting sued in a US court so they'll probably need to pay up...
With that said I hope noone was offended, remember that this is IMHO and
nothing else (no flame intended).
