1. Comment - Microsoft: WGA to Require Revalidation

   (May 25, 2005 - 12:41 PM)

   how does someone earning 150 dollars a month buy a computer in the 1st place. i agree that microsoft do overcharge for thier operating system, i know that linux is next to if not free.
   but for some ppl linux is not a viable option solely because of the dominating position of windows based systems and most software commercialy released is for the windows enviroment. linux is still not particularly user friendly. however much ppl berate microsoft, they are one of the main reason that hardware is as cheap as it these days. without windows the pc would never have become a mass market domestic commodity. however i think microsoft are guilty of abusing what amounts to a near monopoly.

2. Comment - Security Flaws Found in Outlook, IE

   (Apr 2, 2005 - 3:39 AM)

   do you really believe that if firefox/thunderbird were the dominant browser/email client that ie and oe are today, that they would not have some of the same problems with security. i think that it is mainly a numbers game and ie etc.. are the big target solely because of that. it stands to reason that if you have all the main players in the security field looking for flaws in your product that they are going to find them. if all that effort were suddenly diverted to mozilla software how long do you think it would take for a string of security flaws to manifest itself.
   how quickly you forget the spoof web site flaw that also affected firefox. if they had to deal with security threats as regularly as redmond i'm pretty certain they would grind to a halt.
