I think they should care. Because it's reasons like this that are in the long run making them loose money. As people are turning to competitors products. Like Mac, Linux, BSD etc.

I wouldn't mind so much if the new operating systems they release weren't so buggy. In the first place.

Maybe if 9x computers start being used a lot more for man-in-the-middle attacks on 2K and XP systems MS will think again about its' decision to stop critical updates? I think it's crappy of them to make the internet an even less safe place for the less knowledgeable folks than it already is.

Micrososft is stubborn.once they make these kind of decisions they can't flip-flop,not becasue they don't want to...becasue they will look stupid if they change thier mind.Thats why I'm switching to Windows 2k in a few days or weeks if my Download Bandwith holds up
