Taxing every citizen for Microsoft Windows problems? Are we insane?

” he problem, as always, is money: finding which customers have
infected computers is expensive for Internet Service Providers
(ISPs), and helping those customers to fix their computers is much
more expensive. Unfortunately, Mr Charney’s answer to the question
“where do we find that money” was so… er, brilliant, that it’s

“”You could say it’s a public safety issue and do it with
general taxation”

“Yes, that’s just what Mr Charney said, according to
ComputerWorld! Can you believe it? We keep reading titles like
“Another day, another Internet Explorer security hole” or “Windows
security is awful” (and these are just the two most recent stories
I could find with a 20 seconds Internet search) and we know that
almost all desktop computers still run Windows.”
