Microsoft Suggests Licensing Internet

Microsoft’s security chief, Scott Charney, thinks that the government should license the Internet and block computers that don’t have virus protection and a firewall.

If that ever happens say goodbye to free thought on the Internet. I sometimes wander how anybody can be so silly as to suggest that this will somehow solve the bot net problem. It was caused my Microsoft and now they want to punish the rest of us for their failure. How about fixing your operating system Microsoft?

I must confess this kind of stuff does nothing for my view of Microborg and their agenda.
