And as for Rickard, please stop trying to fill us with more FUD. Instead please tell us when this secuirity hole will be fixed.

Rickard, are MS working on this? Is the fix into Testing yet? Have they even created a patch for test? Or are they asking cronies like yourself to go to work instead of the engineers?

MS has taken their eye off the ball, the customer. They no longer focus on customer need, only on dollar per quarter. Greed without product will result in shrinking customer base.

Windows XP - it works. Domestic and Professionals are used to that interace. It's now more stable and quicker than Vista. It also costs MS a lot less in the past 2 years than Vista. It is MS's cash cow, but they want to barbeque it. Fools.

MS wants to RENT Office for $70/year. Have you seen this in PC World?

I guffawed when I saw it at the entrance stand. In a recession they are offering to scam us every year for something we will never ever own. Nutters, greedy nutters.

MS, greed is eating you from the inside.

Free Office - www.openoffice.org.
Free Antivirus - free.grisoft.com, panda and others.

Nothing like a good laugh in the morning.

Thanks for the amusing reading everyday, Inq.

Ah, and where did you get your degree in computer science, Mr. PR flack? And your credibility is derived from what? The fact that Microsoft throws money at you to bleat their story?

Seeing as most people have no idea how Windows is actually architected, as far as most of us are concerned, the Device I/O Control module is loaded during startup along with the so-called "kernel" so that makes it part of the kernel. If it bleats like a sheep... and so forth... So, Microsoft and PR flack, take your micromanaged approach and shove it.

Besides, I heard that Windows is a mess internally anyway, so who knows what is part of the kernel and what isn't? Even those people that work on it aren't too sure.
