It is Microsoft's problem if Noober McGreenerson searches for that error code and downloads the "fix" that ends up infesting their computer. Most people are more than happy to blame Michaelsoft for their computer shitting the bed after they've installed crapware on it.

No, it's Noober McGreenerson's fault for downloading crap from a suspicious site without doing any research. It doesn't matter who Noober is happy to blame, it's still his fault.

Yes, it's nice when end users don't have to think, but no, it's not realistic. Microsoft has no direct control over Google- why should they be responsible for what people find there?

Should they just leave every piece of useful information off the blue screen so nobody will search? That's what would really be "function follows form."
