I'm not defending Microsoft here but, the problem in this case isn't Microsoft, there's no reason a person can't educate themselves enough to move away from Windows. If you have access to a PC, you more than likely have access to the internet and there's no shortage of information online.

Yes what Microsoft is doing is negligent. But the consumer can't be completely blameless.

I am not defending scammers but grandma and grandpa do have access to the internet. There are tons of resources to educate yourself on how avoid being scammed.

What scammers are doing is illegal but grandma and grandpa are not blameless.
