Do you ever get the feeling that Microsoft doesn't know as much about it's own system and code than these hackers do? If they do know as much as the Hackers they have a serious quality control and supervisory problem. If they don't as much they need to hire these people to help them in securing their obviously porous software.

I haven't updated to SP2, i don't know if i will. I use good antivirus and firewall programs on my pc.

I'm waiting for microsoft to prove that they can have a patch that fixes all their problems before i bother installing Sps after Sps.

Total size of team programming SP2: SEVEN. Even figure they pay these guys a million a year and it took 2 years, that is a lousy $14 million. Meanwhile MS pulls in BILLIONS a year.

Absolutely spot on!!

As someone who has done some serious software QC in the past, I maintain MicroSloth's QC dept is a complete joke. I often time wonder if they have one at all. Mistake after screwup after blunder after foulup after...

If everybody would quit using IE, Outlook and Outlook Express, 95% of these problems would be instantly solved.
