Microsoft confirms first Windows 7 zero-day bug
,----[ Quote ]
| The zero-day vulnerability was first
| reported by Canadian researcher Laurent
| Gaffie last Wednesday, when he revealed the
| bug and posted proof-of-concept attack code
| to the Full Disclosure security mailing list
| and his blog. According to Gaffie,
| exploiting the flaw crashes Windows 7 and
| Server 2008 R2 systems so thoroughly that
| the only recourse is to manually power off
| the computers.

Microsoft being a Onecare
,----[ Quote ]
| For starters, it uses an ActiveX control -
| Internet Explorer required in other words -
| that's annoyingly hard to install. You get
| warnings galore from Windows 7's UAC and IE
| about popups and do you really really really
| want to install something that has the
| potential to roger your system well and
| truly?

,----[ Quote ]
| Another thing to remember about that Vista
| launch week is that it set a relatively low
| bar. Retail Vista sales were considerably
| below Microsoft's forecast â almost 60% lower
| than sales of Windows XP during its first week
| in 2001.

5 Reasons why Ubuntu 9.10 is better than Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| Want a program that doesn't come with the
| operating system? Easy. Use the Ubuntu
| Software Center, Ubuntu's new one stop
| application 'store.' I put store in quotes
| because it's all free. With Windows, you
| know the drill. Go to your local store, poke
| around what's available on Download.Com and
| Tucows, etc. etc. Just be sure to have your
| credit-card ready since a good deal of
| Windows software isn't open source or free.
