Jesus, that would be a full page switch ad tomorrow in every majpr publication if i ran Apple. Hey PC users, if you SURF the net, they are gonna GET YOU!! Use PCs and hackers will destroy your files!! haha Get a mac and enjoy the web :)

Gotta love MS, as least they are looking and keep finding these flaws. Every month there's a new 'major flaw that allows access' but at least they are looking I guess.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) on Wednesday warned about a serious flaw in almost every version of its popular Windows software that could allow hackers to seize control of a person's computer when victims read e-mails or visit Web sites.

Microsoft assessed the problem's urgency as critical, its highest level, and urged customers to download a free repairing patch immediately from its Web site, www.microsoft.com/security.

The company said it was unaware of any reports that hackers already had used the technique to break into computers, but the time between disclosure of a new flaw and such break-ins has become increasingly short.

This is beautiful.. I can't wait to start toying with the fears of Dell's customers at work. Time to start looking for alternatives to Windows I'll say...

Here in my country we have a few group oposed to the government with huge mailing list. I'm one of them. Now all of them uses Macs because they were so tire of beign hacked all the time, I told them I do not have that problem, they expect you to have a PC, now we can send all the mail that we want against the gouvernment, the only thing is that if they brake in to our houses and see a Mac will know is us.

how much do microsoft programmers get paid?

[Dont Hurt Me]

Just another reason why we dont use microsoft, Maybe the rest of the world will catch on one day that macs are really simply better, perhaps not in hardware specs but the software rules.

haha. Thing is, that most older systems wouldn't be able top process that much info that quickly and wouldn't be able to keep up with current bugs, it would trail by a few years. I think you'd need a 970 to be able to process the growing # of buggs and be able to keep that database current.
