Why Windows Sucks

February 22, 2006 on 9:36 pm | In Security |

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but since when does Microsoft contract sponsors to host its updates, or write them for that matter? Even if the sponsors had access to the source code (which we all know would never happen), Microsoft would never distribute a third-party patch (as everyone vulnerable to and aware of the recent WMF exploit might have discovered).

Ok, to be fair, I could talk for hours about the topic proposed by the post’s title. So, I’ll say this is just one reason why Windows sucks… you can probably work the rest out for yourself anyway.

DId you check the e-mail headers to verify its IP address? This might be a cleverly disguised spam mail or a phishing attempt.

Make sure the IP belongs to Microsoft, otherwise delete it!

Sorry, I’m real slow to pick up irony. Just ignore the previous message.

Hehe sorry about that…

I cannot believe I’ve been reduced to using IE on Windows XP though - this is the lowest of the low (and I don’t have another option because UNIX doesn’t work in this school’s network). At least you get to use Firefox on Debian…lol! Actually, I might give a LiveCD a try here - maybe with a bit of configuration I can get it to work.
