Thank you for the information Minerva. Looks like MicroShaft should just close up their doors and go home.

Just my opinion on this, but it has always seemed to me that MS has always spent the majority of their resources trying to put out upgraded or new products so that they can suck more money out of people. I have always envisioned the MS offices as being 50 or so nice big offices of sales, research & development, and their bug fix & support department is located in a tiny closet in the basement.

yeah this MicroShit is always trying to fix the problems just when
the product is released already... it's the company's main philosophy

I think its all a conspiracy, microshit makes shit that they know ppl can find stuff to fuck with, so then that helps AV, and Firewall companies be what they are supposed to be. And if it were perfect, there wold be no need for technicians and what not. I read some where bout this guy like a really really long time ago, say something like "anything that has been created by man, has flaws" SO........ I guess microcrap is living proof of that.

From a software developers point of view its becuse there are so many diffrent configurations of PC(ok hands up those who haven't up-graded their PC or over clocked at some time) that too make a prog that will work on every single config right out of the box is bloody imposible or would never be finished. or it could be just a load of shit and there out to screw us for every penny they can get.

All people says MS is shit, but everyone use it??
I´ll think, the biggest DAU sits 60 cm in front of the monitor.
Surely, the are big holes in the system, but if you fix them right on time
you don´t get very much in Trouble and to all MS haters -
switch to linux or unix or mac and so on
