Oracle's Linux: Unbreakable? Or Just A Necessary Adjustment?

,----[ Quote ]
| When Oracle's Linux technical support team has a fix, it gives that fix to 
| the customer without waiting for Red Hat's uptake or the kernel process 
| itself, Ellison said.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| When Red Hat learns of bugs, it retrofits the fixes into its current and 
| older versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. That's one of Red Hat's main 
| engineering investments in Linux, Berman said in an interview.

Nothing like Vista bugs though. "Vista" means "alpha" in Spanish.

Windows Vista running with no RAM!

,----[ Quote ]
| But as you can see from the screenshot above, Vista can function with zero 
| RAM. I know, it does sound illogical, but then again… And no, it is not an 
| example of my Photoshop skills at work, it is a genuine screenshot from 
| Vista.

"Mommy, it's broken." 2 weeks with Vista

,----[ Quote ]
| After 5 years of development, Vista still isn't ready for prime time.
| It's like taking a car without an engine and putting a new coat of
| paint on it. Sure it looks pretty, but it still doesn't work. I would
| wait at least 6 months if not a year to invest in Vista. In fact I
| personally will be putting XP on my laptop because Vista crashes too
| much for me to use everyday.
| 
| This review doesn't take into account the DRM and anti-piracy
| issues that have been brought up by Vista. Without taking those
| into account I still wouldn't buy Vista.

Vista isn't ready for non-office use

Programs Cannot Be Uninstalled In Vista?

,----[ Quote ]
| Possibly after one of the latest updates in Windows Vista, two strange things 
| happened: first, the Uninstall option is no longer available in the Control 
| Panel when you right-click on older programs (most likely, those installed 
| prior to the update in question, because uninstall works fine for recently 
| installed programs — the Uninstall button is also missing on the toolbar at 
| the top); second, some programs are no longer shown on the applications list 
| in Control Panel (e.g., Yahoo Messenger).

MS update sends PCs 'haywire'

,----[ Quote ]
| Users are advised to review knowledge base articles that refer to the 
| particular version of .NET and Windows they are running for more information, 
| which are listed under the "known issues" section of the bulletin.  
| 
| The SANS posting, and feedback we're hearing, suggests the problems some 
| users are experiencing are more than these knowledge base articles might 
| suggest but at least these postings provide a starting point for users before 
| they refer outstanding issues they might still be having to Microsoft or 
| their support partners.

Thanks To Microsoft No Work Will Be Getting Done This Week

,----[ Quote ]
| Patch Tuesday is coming up and again work will grind to a halt as
| techs spend the next few days deploying what amounts to a huge
| payload of patches for the month of February 2007. This month
| we're looking at five critical updates related to Windows
| security, two relating to Office security and one relating to
| Windows OneCare Live, Microsoft Antigen, Windows Defender and Microsoft 
| Forefront; plus a host of other lesser related patches, 21
| one in all.
