Sorry folks, but I don't see a reason for all the panicky, capital letter

windblows install.

In all seriousness, it seems to me these clear proofs of M$ incompetence 
present the perfect opportunity to help these virus victims escape from the 
(obviously broken) criminal monopoly concessions and do a TRUE system
update to GNU-Linux.
