Pay us to protect you from the flaws in our software?

This sounds like lawsuit waiting to happen. What reason does
Microsoft have to fix security issues when they are making
money on "protecting" people from those issues. Is this legal?
Selling a product with flaws and charging to fix them is
disgusting. It is the same as charging to fix a bug in their
system.

Up next: monthly subscriptions to Microsoft products.
"Office keeps deleting everything I write."
"Sorry you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to use text with
that program."

Something has to be done to stop this giant company from their
disgraceful tactics.They don?t even have original innovations to
their software anymore they just wait for other creative
companies to make something innovative and then they copy it,
slowly. I?m very sad that they are an American company they act
like Korean car companies stealing designs (Not that the US car
companies are much better).

A Virus is not a flaw

They are going to protect against virii. There is a difference.

They do not charge for fixing flaws either. Microsoft has the best support program in the industry, bar none.
