Is er geen mogelijkheid MS wettelijk te verbieden?

Op welke grond wil je dit doen? En volgens welke wetgeving? De
Amerikaanse of de Nederlandse?

Je moet eens goed de EULA lezen. Hierin staat toch duidelijk vermeld dat MS
niet aansprakelijk is voor fouten in de software. Aangezien je hiermee
accoord bent gegaan (anders mag je windows niet installleren) heb je geen
poot om op te staan (juridisch gezien dan).

overigens: iedere 2de dinsdag van de maand is gehakt... uh patchdag bij
Microsoft

Nooit serieus ingaan op dit soort posts van mij :)

Zijn van die ingevingen als ik die s... lees.

En wat "gehakt..uh patchdag" 2 x pm aangaat,
verandering van spijs (lees lekken) doet eten zeggen ze,
om het dan goed bij te houden:
Wake up and start the day with meat..uh patches.

Da's lastig te zien aangezien iedereen (incl. ikzelf) hier anoniem post.
