Microsoft Claims Linux Security a Myth

Who is accountable for Windows? (Score:5, Insightful)

From Windows XP's EULA:

LIMITATION ON REMEDIES; NO CONSEQUENTIAL

OR OTHER DAMAGES. Your exclusive remedy for any breach

of this Limited Warranty is as set forth below. Except

for any refund elected by Microsoft, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED

TO ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT

LIMITED TO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, if

the Product does not meet Microsoft's Limited Warranty,


So, are we believe that if Windows crashes my data, that I can hold Microsoft accountable?

At least with Linux I have access to the source code, and can hire programmers to scratch my itches for me. Somehow, I don't think microsoft would give out source code if they went under.
