I was wondering what is the OS

that would allow or make very easy to log the keystrokes.....

``The analyst believes that so-called keystroke logging, or the practice of using spyware to record all the characters a computer user types into his machine, is also growing rapidly. One security software vendor, Webroot, claims that its own research shows that nearly one in every three PCs harbors some kind of keystroke-logging software.''

There you go: 1 out of 3 PCs have this spyware! It is the fine monsterpiece of an os from Redmond!

WHY are people still relying on this piece of trash to carry out their daily financial transactions? And more importandly, why the bigger firms let this go, even though so many millions of people have been defrauded?

Naive user is one part pf the problem. Criminally incopetend corporations is the bigger part.

But wait a moment! MS is releasing a new BETA PATCH that is ``security minded''

In other news, ENRON also announced that it will reimburse its employees for their lost savings and it will return money back to CA...

HOW many people will have to suffer irreversible losses and how many more billions must be wasted before QUALITY CONTROLS are established for the s/w industry? Especially for the companies who manufacture `Barbie-looks / Barbie-brains type of products???


MS: if the s/w is really bad, it must have came from Redmond...
