I guess that they've fullfilled theor promise now, don't you? There is very little training time necessary to write such code for Windoze. <grin>

that is like saying that there is no time to train school bus drivers, just send them out to pick up our kids.
You're talking about a product sold under the advertising promise that little to no training is necessary, and with default behavior that makes it TRIVIAL to write crap like this.
Not just possible; not even easy, but TRIVIAL. Any high school kid with a couple of "Idiots Guide to Visual Basic in 21 Days for Dummies" books under his belt could have written this, and if he'd had a class on programming he'd have written better code than this piece of crap.
