RE: Patch Tuesday heads-up: 9 bulletins, 5 critical  gertruded | 08/06/09
Please do not add to the complacency  honeymonster | 08/06/09
Uhhh...you mean Viri and Trojans are out to get Windows 7 and below!  No More Microsoft Software Ever! | 08/06/09
Um. They are.  NStalnecker | 08/06/09
And we're supposed to be reassured by that?  UAC nanny screen | 08/07/09
Yes  NStalnecker | 08/07/09
You do know...  wolf_z | 08/07/09
Please explain  Richard Flude | 08/06/09
Because your main "defense" against attacks  hickum | 08/06/09
And yet...  zkiwi | 08/06/09
High value computers tend to have competent people securing them.  ye | 08/07/09
And yet you entirely missed the point  zkiwi | 08/07/09
@ zkiwi: I didn't miss your spin, I saw through it.  ye | 08/07/09
and yet it's those Linux Servers that get root-kitted.  xuniL_z | 08/08/09
Then your company needs to fire its incompetent IT Staff  Confused by religion | 08/06/09
Amen, Brother, That's The Real Truth! (NT)  PMC-CON | 08/10/09
Please Explain....  Badgered | 08/07/09
Not only that but....  Erroneous | 08/07/09
I can't recall the last time I heard of a virus.  ye | 08/07/09
And trojans...  ShadowGIATL | 08/11/09
Thanks for the brilliant anecdotal rebuttal Richard. Watch for Linux bots..  xuniL_z | 08/08/09
...that were configured by windows desktop users  ~doolittle~ | 08/09/09
Ok, just make stuff up if you want. And the 100:1 is exactly the...  xuniL_z | 08/09/09
"desktop user" mentality = lazy linux admin  ~doolittle~ | 08/09/09
I apologize for my post. I took you the wrong way.  xuniL_z | 08/11/09
Seems to me the common denominator in your post...  ShadowGIATL | 08/11/09
I think it was "sarcasm", not "complacency" (NT)  Zogg | 08/07/09
agreed, I lol'd  ~doolittle~ | 08/07/09
Has anyone actually looked at the bugs yet?  Zogg | 08/07/09
Advance notifications sparse; what to expect from the actual bulletins  honeymonster | 08/07/09
Two of the bugs are "privilege escalation" bugs  Zogg | 08/07/09
Not in the Windoze world it doesn't  UAC nanny screen | 08/07/09
Yea...  ShadowGIATL | 08/11/09
But all 7 of the other issues affect and are not mitigated by Vista.  gertruded | 08/07/09
You don't know that  honeymonster | 08/07/09
You cannot make such a conclusion.  ye | 08/07/09
The point is that all the bugs exist in Vista  Zogg | 08/07/09
No one is saying....  Erroneous | 08/07/09
But there some key differences.  ye | 08/07/09
Three words: "Privilege Escalation Bugs" (NT)  Zogg | 08/07/09
Without details they don't mean a lot.  ye | 08/07/09
A typical response, as expected.  Zogg | 08/07/09
@Zogg: Of course it was expected. It was my first response.  ye | 08/09/09
Oh will you cool it, please  honeymonster | 08/08/09
RE: Patch Tuesday heads-up: 9 bulletins, 5 critical  s_southern | 08/07/09
Very true. And the important thing is, that goes for ALL OSes...  xuniL_z | 08/09/09

RE: Patch Tuesday heads-up: 9 bulletins, 5 critical  twaynesdomain | 08/07/09
yes, full moon or  honeymonster | 08/08/09
There's a patch for that!  dogbreath1 | 08/07/09
Yeah, right  honeymonster | 08/08/09
YAWN, wake me when Windows gets 20 to 50 patches a month like OS X or Linux  xuniL_z | 08/08/09
counting vulnerability & patches do not make an OS insecure...  ~doolittle~ | 08/09/09
I don't get my information from Microsoft. Or Red Hat....  xuniL_z | 08/09/09
So Microsoft bought the IBM X-Force team?  honeymonster | 08/10/09
better to have and not need, than to need and not have  ~doolittle~ | 08/10/09
The "beancounter" ad still makes me giggle  honeymonster | 08/10/09
Beancounter ad makes me laugh, Cause Jobs has spent a Billion$$ just on...  xuniL_z | 08/11/09
The Irony is so thick you could drizzle it on your pancakes....  xuniL_z | 08/11/09
