Flaws Are Detected in Microsoft

[PsychoDiablo]

all the more reasons ill be sticking to xp

[Politically Incorrect]

All the more reason they haven't released it to the general public yet

Is anybody really surprised ?

Microsoft hasn't started a single business day for the last 26 years where things like this haven't been announced.

XP was declared DOA and Microsoft was gonna go bankrupt because of all the holes in it.. Same with ME, 98SE, 98, 95 and 3.1

I'm not really surprised about this. In fact, I was kind of expecting it to happen considering that there is no operating system in the world that is 100% effective against viruses, hackers, etc. Heck, even Apple's latest OS is not bullet proof. The only reason we don't hear much about its flaws is because the company is doing a dang good job covering it up. And that's one thing I like about Microsoft. Unlike Apple, Microsoft admits that its system is not bullet proof.

and the majority of hackers dont use macs

Or..  as a percentage of computers in use; there are too few Macs to make it worth the hackers effort

Actually Mac users suffered their first 'attack' earlier this year. Which did rather stop them being so smug

[expat]

Are we really surprised  8-)

MS knew they'd be loads of folks waiting to find holes and so did everyone else. It's hardly major news. The computer freaks will be racing to see who can find and exploit the first hole. Seeing as the complete version of windows vista is available on the internet in the piracy places I wouldn't be surprised if the viruses are released to conicide with the day Vista is released.

I'm still getting Vista, I've had XP since about a week before it was supposed to be released on disk (old 900Mhz Celeron 128MB ram built in Graphics)

[Souichiro]

Almost sounds like some of the FSX stuff  ;D
