and if the defect doesn't show up in 90 days, no recourse, and if it's
caused by a virus, even if the virus shipped w/ the product, no
recourse. M$ has gotta have GM and Ford drooling at a warranty that
takes your money and guarantees next to nothing, especially if the

accompanying materials" for 90 days. The recourse is either a "fixed"
product or a refund at Microsoft's option. The "fixed" product being
then warranted under the same conditions for the remainder of the 90
