1. Comment - Britain considers whether its citizens are entitled to 2 Mbps broadband

   (Jan 31, 2009 - 1:00 AM)

   One thing though. The so called 20Mbps broadband you are paying a fortune for is really only 2Mbps download speed which is pretty much your provider ripping you off by fooling you into paying more for less. Thats the broadband everyone is getting through this new government scheme, but they're putting the real speed on it, not the crappy fake "Make it look larger" speed.
   
   A colour TV Licence costs £139.50. A black and white TV Licence costs £47.00.
   Looking at them prices, I'd rather pay that a year and get myself out of debt than pay £45 a month virgin prices for the same speed.

2. Comment - Downadup worm causes confusion over Autorun

   @ NunjaBusiness. Just noticed, if your system is 64bit how come it says x86 in your registry? x86 is 32bit lol. I think I'm safer listening to the others sorry.

   Thanks for the info, but something quite interesting had happened last night which is probably the reason they gave the information about the Win7 patch, but never upped it. Windows Defender automatically updated and cleared the entire worm within seconds. Looks like Microsoft have finally got their heads screwed on lol.

   Now something is confusing me. Why haven't they made a fix for Windows 7 users?
   I remember the other day them mentioning that its hitting every version and that the MS08-038 fix is available for all versions of Windows including 7.
   I checked the site and I googled the security bulletin and there is no download for Win7 anywhere.
   I did notice they also took the XP, 2000, and Server 2003 downloads down and put them in the non-infected software list basically saying only Vista & Server 2008 are affected.

   What the heck is going on and why isnt there a fix for Windows 7 yet and why have they took the fixes down for the other versions?

5. Comment - The EC's latest objection: Is it time to unbundle IE from Windows?

   (Jan 22, 2009 - 6:19 AM)

   Something that will be a pain in the butt. How the heck will people be able to get online to download the browser?
   They'd need a browser to download internet explorer or firefox or whatever they use. IE is a requirement. Just because Microsoft has it embedded, doesnt mean people always use it. They only use it to get another browser, then IE is just left in background to run the actual OS apps.
   The only other way they could get a browser is by buying a magazine, or paying a computer technician to install it for them and who'd pay that much money just to get internet explorer/firefox from a magazine cd. Its a waste of money. The EC are stupid.
   I noticed it's all pointed at Microsoft too. I'll bet you any money they'll target Apple and Linux soon for having browsers on their OS's once they killed the Microsoft OS.
