By the look of it, OS/2 will have a chance of getting a good market share this time, if someone would revive it (& if they tag it with a correct price tag this time). Of coz, unless, IBM is (still too) scare of M$...

Please don't sully OS/2 by that wrong association.

NT has surprisingly little in common with OS/2, as little as M$ could manage, seem to have run away from all the good ideas that Bill once rightly touted as the future of computing. They gave up at the least HPFS and real desktop objects, instead using FAT and mere shortcuts.

Sig contains...

"Warning - Using the F1 Key will not break anything!"

Ya, that always works...

Microsoft should be forced to openSauce their code!
It has become to complex for a few teenagers to code and be safe.
OS/2 was good, but ever since M$ renamed it NT/2000/XP/VISTA/W7 and so on it went downhill.
The problem is too less teenagers and too much lines of code...as well as immature brains not able to see problems upfront...

Hahahaha....they are all as stupid as Bill always was...read his book s and you know LOL

...If a component is insecure = Just turn it off or disable it.

What of fix? A patch? That depends if MS finds if its actually worth fixing. (ie: Critical issue or not?)...If not, it could drag on for more than six months until a third-party security researcher threatens to release concept-exploit code!...Then its a rush update!

There's much gruft code in Windows from many years ago. MS needs to start a clean slate to really clean Windows's closet. That's the only way to improve this situation.

to turn off yet another of M$'s "features" because poorly designed and ineptly implemented. Good riddance to Active Scripting and Active-X.
