I Give Up. Windows Is Proof That People Are Too Stupid To Use Computers.
,----[ Quote ]
| And too stupid or dishonest to report Microsoft Windows as the defective
| disaster that it is. If it were any other type of product it would have
| banned from every country in the world long ago. The BBC reports the latest
| Windows Conficker worm outbreak in typical "oh no big deal" fashion, does not
| identify this as a Windows worm until several paragraphs into the article,
| quotes industry security vendors as though they were actually worth listening
| to and not useless weasels, and then blames end users:
|
| "The worm is spreading through low security networks, memory sticks, and
| PCs without current security updates...
| ""Microsoft did a good job of updating people's home computers, but the
| virus continues to infect business who have ignored the patch update...
| ""Of course, the real problem is that people haven't patched their
| software," he added.
|
| Please excuse me while I go kick something. Of COURSE it's the users' fault.
| They're still using this most expensive piece of defective crapware in the
| entire solar system. But its incurable defects are not their fault. (We need
| to give up the notion that such computer users can be rescued by Linux-- we
| don't WANT them using Linux. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof,
| because fools are ingenious".)

With Vista breached, Linux unbeaten in hacking contest
,----[ Quote ]
| The MacBook Air went first; a tiny Fujitsu laptop running Vista was hacked on
| the last day of the contest; but it was Linux, running on a Sony Vaio, that
| remained undefeated as conference organizers ended a three-way computer
| hacking challenge Friday at the CanSecWest conference.
