Microsoft, the company that can't...

Microsoft, the company that can't "shoot" straight anymore. We're all laughing at you.

Forget patching Windows

Forget patching Windows, someone needs to patch Microsoft, or maybe thats what this is, Microsoft patching Microsoft?

Patch. Patch the patch. Patch the patches patch.

Ha! The subject above typed itself from my FireFox cache. Just like the "MS release critical patch for IE (repeat weekly)" subject.

jump off the treadmill

You'll never get MS-IE reliable. Just walk away from that whole mess. I know, you're scared. You think it's too hard. Everybody's been telling you there's no choice. They're lying or they don't know.

Can you download an ISO image? Burn a CD? (If not, they sell for a couple of bucks on Ebay.) Boot the CD you just burned? Visit knoppix.org, burn it, boot it, be free. You don't have to *install* Linux to use it any more. Use Windoze when your pointy-haired boss tells you to. Use something else if you don't have an IT department and you just want a reliable computer.

bash ms all you want but...

"Use Windoze when your pointy-haired boss tells you to."

...or when you want to use your windows only software. not bad mouthing *nix, but it's simply not for everyone yet. you tell someone - go boot to a knoppix cd and everything is great, but then what do you tell them when they can't run the software (windows only software) they purchased?

everyone always b1tches about windows crashing and spyware. know what? i run windows. i don't get crashes. i don't get spyware. it's not the OS so much as it is the user. someone who clicks 'OK' or 'YES' to EVERY SINGLE PROMPT that comes up on their screen is going to enter their password for the root account when prompted just as easily. kinda defeats the purpose of changing to another os if you are just going to say yes to every little thing that pops up.

June IE patch could cause problems in IE

I installed these patches and had a problem with one of the IE patches. When I would select a link I received a debug error and IE shuts down.

MICROSFT UPDATES SINCE MAY 2006

After installing all the security updates since may 23rd 2006,I have had nothing but problems with my computer,the validation update I believe is what has caused all the problems!I purchased winxp pro and it`s not an illegal copy.All updates since then have failed to install and I have programs being able to install or remove any programs from my computer. Cannot respond or send any e-mail,(but I can receive e-mail). After the last few days my phone has been ringing off the hook with alot of people having the same or similar issues..Microsoft needs to address this issue and Bill Gates can take that 31 Billion just donated to his foundation and Buy us Americans new computers!.Before he sends the money to help the starving pigmes in africa the money!.
