Microsoft preps 133 patches for Windows DNS hole!!! Now 'dems alot of patches. Too bad MickeyMouse has such a hard time getting it right the first time. It's no wonder the world and especially the business community is getting totally fed up with Microsoft.

Even Dell is now going back to offer XP with their computers because Vista is such a p.o.s. Vista, the largest flop in computer history.

Microsoft will lose no sleep over continued sales of XP.
Now that development of XP has ceased the profit margin on each copy sold is huge and customers will still migrate to Vista in due course.
Talking of the largest flops... do you remember when Windows was going to annihilated by OS2?

Doh!
I should bloody well hope so... the release is less than a day old!
Scoop... Vista SP1 needs no patches!

Classic!!! You'll notice these linux freaks have completely dodged the fact that their precious Ubuntu requires MANY patches? Then they compare it to a version that was just released? Vista on day 1 didn't require any patches either. Just wait 6 months and we'll see how many patches this linux distro requires. I also like the diversion tactic! Just cry about being insulted. That always works.
Plus, this quantity of 133 is being misunderstood. Vista will not require 133 patches so you can't even begin to compare that number. What the heck does this news have to do with Dell going back to offering XP? They are not going to stop offering Vista. dorris is so completely far out in left field that I doubt a reasonable thought can find the light of day!
You need to divide 133 by the number of server versions then divide again by the number of languages. How can anyone possibly compare that to a single windows version? They can't.

Um, updates for Ubuntu are not all patches and Ubuntu updates *every* program you have installed, not just the OS. Fact is, Windows is much less secure than Linux. This is an irrefutable fact so stop trying.
Now, be a good little boy and go clean out your temp files, defrag your C drive, update your anti virus, all your anti-spy/mal/ad/ware programs and then go update Office. While you're at it, update T-Bird and whatever other program you have on your machine. Note, you have to do these updates one at a time and you need to know they're available in the first place! Oh, and be sure to take a couple hours out of your day and run all the anti virus and anti malware apps.

Another irrefutable fact (one we're actually talking about) is that linux requires security patches just like every other OS. So stop trying.

Why? I need most of them are still needed. They CAN be deleted at a cost.

Automatic. No need to.

Automatic. No need to.

There are no updates.

Ignorance. Windows update, updates all windows apps as well as many other apps. Are you expecting Microsoft to update Adobe products? I would never expect them to.
So what exactly was your point?

??? If you think this is true then you're an idiot, plain and simple. You have no clue. A good app will catch as it receives. There is no need to ever run a scan unless you feel your app was compromised.

Hahahaha! What's the matter poor alias? Now you wont run Vista when SP1 comes out? After all, if it's the DEATH of Windows, why would you?
You are a laugh and a half alias.
I'm downloading ubuntu and it BETTER run as your mouth claims. I have 8 machines to try it on and if it doesn't work at least 90% on all of them then it fails.

Very few, especially compared to Windows. So, as you agreed, it is an irrefutable fact that Linux is MUCH more secure than Windows will ever be.

LOL! I thought you knew something about Windows. I guess I was wrong.

Oh, I forgot, Vista does it all by itself. Heaven help you if something screws it up.

You're not using the right anti malware programs, then.

There will be, hundreds of them.

Ubuntu does it. It updates *all* the programs on your computer.

Sigh.

LOL! And I thought you knew something about Windows.

I have changed my mind. Since MS made it impossible for me to buy a generic OEM copy of Vista without also buying a new PC, I have no interest in Vista anymore except to warn people on this newsgroup and encourage them to install a real OS. I will not spend over 700 US dollars on Vista. If you can't understand that, you're hopeless.

Charming.

I type with my fingers, not my mouth. You?

Considering that you'll be installing it, all bets are off.
Alias

I suppose linux has no way of defragging a HD then? Heaven help you!

So your saying the correct anti-malware programs should be updated manually? Whats wrong with one that does it automatically???

I don't think there's a single programs or OS out there that has never been updated or won't be updated. I suppose your still running version 1.0 of ubuttoo?

I would hope you would know their available if you were the one installing them in the first place.

Actually, I believe once everyone starts writing software for vista it will be the same way. It already downloads 3rd party driver updates.

You obviously don't.

"Alias"

BS. All lies. You are adding up all Windows updates and comparing them to one distro of linux. Get a clue.

It's ok alias, we all know you talk out of your rear. I have no intention of deleting files that will just be downloaded again for each site I normally visit. Next time, make sure you clearly state WHICH temp files.

Such as? As usual this makes no sense. File handling is file handling. What's going to happen? Is the power going to turn off in the middle of defragging? So what! Information is WRITTEN before it's removed.

In your dreams! So this is your defense? Weak!

Hundreds? BS. All lies. Nothing but lies come from you.

Wow! So ubuntu knocks on every vendors door and get all patches from them? All hundreds of thousands of vendors?
BS.

Exactly! Nothing was your point.

So this is your point? Because it does not take me HOURS to protect a machine then I know nothing?
You do realize that everyone can read this right?
Hilarious!!!

More clueless remarks from alias. You can buy the OEM version of Vista from just about any online vendor without having to buy hardware with it.

Speech recognition.

Typical linux BS.
linux = excuses, excuses and more excuses.

No need to defrag a disk with Linux on it.

Most anti malware programs like Spybot and AdAware have to be updated manually. Linux has no need for such apps.

I thought we were talking about security updates. Linux, by its very nature, hasn't the security problems that Windows has.

Some apps that need updating manually and knowing that updates exist:
Java
Adobe Reader
Spybot Search and Destroy
AdAware
Spywareblaster
Crap Cleaner
Windows itself unless you foolishly think that auto updates is the best thing since sliced bread.
etc., etc., etc.

Don't hold your breath.

Ones you would be foolish to download when newer ones can be found at the manufacturer's web site. Hardware drivers on Windows Updates are notorious for being months behind the latest drivers and most likely older than the ones you have now.

I don't think so, chum.

Then use something like crap cleaner where you can designate cookies you want to keep. Handy little program that one. With Ubuntu, one little reboot clears temp files you're not using.

Is this your idea of a bed side manner, Justin?

See above and learn how to maintain your Windows properly.

I have very little that I see any need to keep and those that I need to keep are protected nicely by crap cleaner.

OK, OK, this may be a good feature of the new Windows but, being as it's totally unnecessary with Ubuntu ... not a big selling point over Ubuntu.

LOL! What do you use MS NO Care and Defender?

OK, I'm game, which ones do you use?

Never?

I've download quite a few for Office, hundreds. Do you think you're talking to someone that has no experience with Windows Updates?

I repeat, it updates your entire computer, all the programs, drivers, *everything*. Groovy, yes? A reinstall of the OS, updates and programs the other day took me under two hours and most of that required no user input. A real nice walk in the park compared to reinstalling Windows.

See above.

See above. Read it carefully.

Blah blah and blah.
Facts are alais, linux has security issues. You can make excuses and apologize for linux all you want. But the reality remains that it has holes and always will. All you need is one.
Plus all your BS and lies about having to spend HOURS maintaining Windows is also complete and utter garbage. It doesn't surprise me that use an app named CRAP. It's suites you well. However I do not need any such garbage.
So, once again you have many people telling you how wrong you are. Go ahead alias, tell us again how right you THINK you are. What a joke.
Well, after waiting SIX HOURS for that crap ubuntu to download making sure TWICE that this was selected:
"Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)"
My initial attempt to install it failed. It told me to get a 32bit version. Seeing as how there is a specific 64bit selection on the site.....WTF DID I DOWNLOAD?!?!?!? The 128bit version? Or maybe the 16bit version?
What a total/complete waste of my time!!!! What did I get for it? The knowledge that my test machine doesn't support "long".
Yeah, I can see how the average person that CAN'T get Vista to work is going to get this pile of crap to work.

ubudubu is a complete piece of crap. The "Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)" will not install on my Pentium 4 machines. Pathetic.
In fact, alias deserves ubudubu.
