It reminds me of the Netgear and U of Wisconsin time server SNAFU. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~plonka/netgear-sntp/
The difference is that Netgear admitted responsibility and worked with UW to cope with the issue. Further, Netgear has funded UW in it's cleanup efforts and generally stepped up to the plate. As much as I don't care for Netgear's products, they did show decent corporate responsibility when UW was able to escalate to the appropriate management at Netgear.
Sounds like a great example to put before the judge when you sue Microsoft. Can anyone say "class action"? --Michael Dillon
