O.K. You built it and it keeps crashing. That describes you.


I built the system. Microsoft built the operating system. That is what
crashes and has so many security holes in it. Funny thing, I'm not
alone. Check it out:

I guess the "WOW" Microsoft use to use to describe Vista must be they
knew Google would find millions of people having problems.

Since you asked, consider this one:

http://security.itproportal.com/arti...rns-microsoft/

It seems Apple's popular browser Safari is a security risk on the
Windows platform and Microsoft just made an official request for
Windows users to stay away from it and not use it.


This one is a mixed bag. Users should dump Safari if Apple can't promptly
fix the issues. But it is a dangerous precident with obvious bias that
Microsoft recommends users not to use Safari. Smacks of WeSaySo.

Oh this is indeed interesting. If you're a true blue Microsoft fan
you're trusting Microsoft crap like Defender and UAC to PROTECT you.


In the Vancouver hack fest, they broke into Vista and UAC didn't react.
Obviously UAC while it might be better, still is like a login to Windows 95,
show and tell. Just click cancel and it used to work for me. UAC appears
like this, bypassable.

Well not so fast. This issue and THREAT is due to how Windows in both
XP and Vista handles executable files on the desktop, the most logical
place you would have a link to a browser.

Oh you remember, the very things Microsoft claims it wants to protect
you from with Defender and UAC. Guess those things don't work too
well. Surprise!

Honest, you Microsoft apologists make be laugh so hard my ribs hurt.


Me too. LOL. But I do agree with the UAC concept, if something is modifying
the OS, the user needs to be prompted. Just that the Vista UAC seems
somewhat like a incomplete last minute hack. Linux has this too, just far
more polish went into it that Vista.

I suspect we are in fact Win7 beta testers with Vista.
