Korea's Internet Is Mired in a Microsoft Monoculture
,----[ Quote ]
| The average computer user may not care whether
| it is ActiveX or something else that allows
| convenient and secure access. But that is
| misguided. In the event of worldwide Internet
| chaos, as was the case in January 2003 or
| during the DDoS attacks in July, Korea gets hit
| the hardest. Its online environment has become
| one where users habitually hit "yes" for every
| dialog box that pops up and install programs
| without a second thought.
|
| Koreans are the easiest prey in the world for
| hackers intent on spreading computer viruses
| and using zombies.
|
| Whenever Microsoft releases a new operating
| system, such as Windows Vista, or a new version
| of Explorer, only in Korea is there a fuss
| about previous versions not working. The
| country's closed and outdated computing
| environment is overly dependent on ActiveX.

| 777 Korean power bloggers are invited by
| Microsoft Korea and 777 should come from
| Windows 7ÂÂs ÂÂSevenÂÂ. IÂÂve been many
| bloggers events which held in Korea but this is
| biggest blogger event that IÂÂve ever seen. MS
| prepared light dinner meal and Windows 7
| Ultimate (Eng Ver.) for all the attendances.
