They don't want to help you resolve such things? OK- I'll never again by a Microsoft product!]]>Oct 25th 2008 2:24AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Lets not call anyone stupid.

2nd it's your problem if you losted it but too sit there and act like alittle kid "I'm not going to buy mircosoft anymore" when it's your fault in the first place. ]]>Oct 27th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Oct 27th 2008 3:01PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Oct 27th 2008 9:41PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Oct 28th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Oct 25th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Oct 25th 2008 4:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Who needs a Mac? I use Linux and it does everything you can do with Windows, is just as easy to use, and isn't prone to the malware that Windows seems to attract. I'd have bought Vista for my new computer, but after the callous attitude of Microsoft, much like your cockiness, I looked elsewhere, and am glad I did.
Once there was a thing called"customer service", and it was handled by working people in the USA, not in India, or by convicts. It was a wonderful thing that we took for granted, but the idea was to make the customer happy. What ever happened to that?]]>Oct 25th 2008 6:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Oct 27th 2008 8:15PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Oct 25th 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/Oct 27th 2008 2:31PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/
Another thing..Mac's may run well, but it is pricey and it doesn't have nearly as much software as a PC. If you tell me it does, then you're an idiot. I've used 3 different pc's over 10 years and I'VE NEVER gotten a virus, worm, etc. Most of the reason is not the computer, operating system or software..its the damn user.]]>Oct 27th 2008 2:38PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/product key stick on the side on the machine. I'm told all computer
stores that build computers must put it on the machine that are
microsoft licensed dealer

2nd it's your problem if you losted it but too sit there and act like
alittle kid "I'm not going to buy mircosoft anymore" when it's your
fault in the first place.

I, too, have been using Macs for many years... without the numerous, annoying, glitches and problems associated with Win-OS. Never had a virus on my Mac.
Mac-OS is rock solid, requiring far less ram to accomplish much more, when compared to Win., and, is much more intuitive and user-friendly. There are perfectly good reasons why the vast majority of professional, and serious, musicians, photogs., and graphic artists, etc., prefer to use their Macs to "create" or "get the job done, right"... because they are far and above more reliable and stable. Besides, there aren't many "useful and interesting" programs, software, or utilities out there (developed for Win. ), that won't operate on a Mac... just fine.
Vista is an horrendous joke. I can't believe they haven't "pulled the plug" on that particular piece of crap. Everyone I know, hates it... and dumps it... preferring to go back to XP, or, XP-Pro.
Certainly, not one of Microsoft's finest efforts or acheivements.]]>Oct 27th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/
Oh and DL sorry to break it to you but not all flavors of Unix are created equal, why do you think there are so many different versions? If they were all the same we would only have Unics/Unix (commercial) and Linux (GNU/Free) and the average Mac user isnt going to want to try and get software that runs on Solaris or AIX to run on OSX.]]>Oct 28th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/24/microsoft-releases-critical-security-patch-for-windows/
But you are sort of right... Virus and Hacks aren't really a concern to non-windows users because of the availability of potential targets... like wolves and sheep ;o) But beyond that... argue it all you want, *nix OSs are inherently, intentionally, and consciously developed to be safe, secure, reliable, and responsive... ahem.... Windows is not. So, folks we might assume smart enough to penetrate or exploit *nix flaws are also much more likely to be doing more meaningful and important things than swiping your CC numbers on amazon... LOL or dumping a root kit on you because you have a GAPING HUGE WIDE OPEN WORMHOLE OF security flaw popping up every couple of months ;o)

My last security update was... in 2003 if I recall... me? Mandriva Linux 2009 RC2, Cooker Release on a Toshiba A series Satellite, 1.8g/2g,intel/realtek.... LOL even our beta stuff makes Windows look schizo ;o)

Come on... the post is to inform Windows users that there is a serious security issue that they should address right away to avoid potential exploitation - the fact that MS is breaking the update release schedule only enforces the severity of the discussion. I understand that is a lot of MS-thumpin' believers out there... but don't use your poor choice in OS as grounds to attack others ;o)
