I'd sell them to the Google people.
They could use them and I need the $$$.
Besides, they have too much money anyway.

the OFF TOPIC 'discussions' about this issue, I'd say M$ still has it on Easy Street.
The APPAULING apathetic attitudes by the minority of those who are SUPPOSED to be ''in the know'' is inexcusable. The ignorant/deliberate STUPIDITY of those who blithely buy a 'magical machine' and hook it up to the 'magical WWW'/internet without LEARNING about the capabilities of said computer/software and that of the internet/malware FIRST is unfathonable!
Like I said M$ ...as well as other 'vendors'... have NOTHING to worry about. 
All these 'vendors' of software, whether it be OS/beneficial OR malware of any type, will continue in a status quo environment with no impetus for change.
I'm totally disgusted by ALL instances!!!!!

If I'm the person in-charge for the network, then I would do what's an IT should do.
If those pc's network is belong to someone else company, and I happened to have access to them, then I might send them an email to let them know their network is wideopen to the public.
If the network pc's is belong to my company, I will ask the IT department to do their job.
etc. etc.
