And then make it illegal to run a vulnerable device if it's connected to the net.

That'd mean kicking all them Windows users off the net.

<unreadably small font>And for that matter, my Linux machines probably have some vulnerabilities in them that haven't been discovered... Yet... </unreadably small font>

Seriously though.. That would kill all sorts of development work. Who would write and test code knowing that if they didn't find a security flaw, they or their customers could end up having to pay some sort of fine or worse? I hate Windows insecure crap as much as anyone, but there has to be some limits in here..
