Computers and Cars........
Owning a computer and operating it have become just as
important as driving a motor vehicle with almost as must
potential for damage. "

Hmmm, Concerned about safety, buy a Volvo, not a convertable
Sprint. Concerned about security, buy anything but Windows.

I am happy that MS is FINALLY turning on security by default.
Too bad that the vast majority of people that install SP2 won't
have a clue as to why thier computers don't work they way they
used to. Tech support for anything computer related will spike. I
can already see it now, calls will be coming into the ISP I work
for complaining that the internet is broke.

Even when MS does something right, they cause headaches for
consumers and support people alike.
