sure so if you had an unpatched windows spreading malware you would, of course, spring for all of the damages and take all the blame for yourself, right? And you would also write to every publication that would use this hypothetical situation to unfairly bad mouth windows security to demand a correction, right?

MS tried it, users didnt do it, they got blamed so now it's mandatory. Natural progression.

In the case of the Internet, if you catch malware, that's your own damned fault.

I know what you're saying, and I hear you on the Windows getting blamed front, but if they can't do security patches without changing UI and restarting constantly, against user will, then it's no deal.
