Microsoft adds security muscle

Time? To do what?: "...built in UAC..."

--It only just occurred to them that this would be a good thing?--not THE Microsoft?

--Now we see why it's finally a "good" thing to them. To whit:

"...limits the account to a user-level"

More like "loser-level", since They, Microsoft become the true Admin. ,install what they like that the loser-user can't uninstall and phone home to Redmond any time they damn well please-- besides, we wouldn't want anyone but the OWNER of the computer having to deal with the messy business of Administering to their own property--what a SAD joke.

"...built in firewall..." ..."improving the firewall, too"...

Shouldn't we contact Zone Alarm--so MS can bring them up to speed? --Oh, the innovation...It's stunning--where do I sign?

"...reducing attack vectors to a bare minimum..."

--Computerese mumbo-jumbo, meant only to confuse and impress the dunderhead, who'd believe it means anything at all. And they impress so well, don't they?
Which "vector" would that piece of cheesecloth IE be in?

"Just give Microsoft some time."

To do WHAT?
To "catch up" on SECURITY--the Biggest and Best? Gee, what have they been up to all this time? All these YEARS at the top? Busy with what really concerns them, I guess. After all, it's "just business".
With pure profit margins in the hundreds of billions yearly,
giving them any more time is the scariest prospect of all.; Posted by: null Posted on: 04/30/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
