Finally...
...I have seen one intelligent post from you. Blue moon outside... For once you aren't appearing the fanatic, and the Linux fanatics are leaping out of the woodwork with crap like "if MS customers want quality they wouldn't be using MS"... Well I'm using XP and Internet Explorer - because (a) my existing hardware peripherals don't work with Linux, (b) I'm a student and cannot afford to replace them or pay the extra for a OS X comp (which is outstanding), and (c) if someone knows what they are doing they can easily secure a Windows comp merely with a firewall and antivirus enabled.

If MS needs an extra month to close some extra holes which the Linux fanatics here criticise them over, then to criticise MS for making the effort (however late or not late, depending on your stance) is merely hypocritical.
