They should be required by court order or by legislation to to continue to support Window$ 95, at least insofar as providing security patches is concerned. They need to do this as a crime prevention measure. Criminals exploit security holes. They do this to commit identity theft and other crimes. There are probably tens of millions of computer users who are doing the internet with Window$ 95. The authorities ought to require Micro$oft to support them, or, better yet, some laws should be passed which would allow the entire Micro$oft consumer base to file a class-action suit against MicroSoft which would result in the company's being forced into bankruptcy. Micro$oft should be required to provide a very simple security patch on its website which would plug all of the security holes on most, but not all of its operating systems. The needed security patch could be just a very simple batch file with just a one-liner: DELTREE C:\WINDOWS Also Micro$oft should be required to provide a compact downloadable bundle of free software designed especially for use with all of the new and magnificent improved features provided by the installation of the recommended security patch. Also all of the modem manufacturers should be required to recall all of their fake modems and to issue real modems to their customers. Then all of the netizens will become very happy campers.
