Wow, wish I could figure out how to become a gazillionaire by producing a product that hasn't worked for 7 or 8 years. Everytime MS fixes one security issue another two pop up....but the bucks keep rolling in....what a great business!!!
I just downloaded and installed service pack II the other day. Damn thing messed up my mp3's (the one's I actually PAID FOR) to where they won't play on winamp or their stupid player.
This crap is getting old.
I patched my machines. It took under a minute. No problem.
Thanks, Microsoft!
Funny that announcements of their security vulnerabilities aren't celebrated...
Oh good grief. I'm so tired of all these bleepin' patches. Why oh why doesn't MS create a decent product? And please, don't start with the "Mac" etc. stuff. I have to use MS because of software I use, which only runs on MS.
Someone remind me what year Safe Computing is supposed to be here. I know it's supposed to happen sometime, because Bill Gates himself told us about it. I can hardly wait.

Umm... NO. The flaw affects Microsoft Excel for Mac OS X.
Most corporations -- mine included -- will not allow installation of WinXP's Service Pack 2; it causes more problems than it fixes. All of the others are OK.
Real simple security fix. Use two computers. On that goes on line and one that does not (or rarely does if you need to do banking online).
Browse away on the first computer and then just format the hard drive every month.
The second computer, well, it is not on line so you don't need to worry about it.
At a company, no computer at an employee desks should have access to the internet through the company intranet. Instead, set up internet work stations where employees go to get what they need on the net.
That keeps them focused on getting what they need and getting of the net and back to work and it keeps the company system secure from the outside. If you have salespeople that need to access the company data base, simply upload and update to a system not connected to the intranet.
Here's my question. I'm still running Win2k SP2 (I'll install my Windows updates when *I* want, Mr. Gates, thank you very much), and it says that none of these only affect Win2K SP3 and SP4. Does this mean that they're ignoring SP2 or that SP2 is immune?
Linux is fun. Try it. You'll like it.
