Early Warning For Microsoft Premium Customers
techmuse writes "According to internetnews.com, Microsoft is giving its premium customers early warning about vulnerabilities and patches. Those of us who aren't lucky enough to have such a relationship with Microsoft may find ourselves at greater risk than premium customers as a result."
Kindof like the paid customers using slashdot who get a chance to read the clicky links before it dies.
We are all equal, just some of us are more equal than others.
This isn't so bad, it just means that the premium customers get to beta test the patches for the rest of us!
To the making of books there is no end, so let's get started
Those of us who are lucky enough to have no relationship with Microsoft may find ourselves at even lower risk than premium customers
> Bugtraq is almost always ahead of microsoft where it comes to vulnerabilities in their software. Why in the world would I pay Microsoft to tell me what might be wrong tomorrow when bugtraq will tell me what's wrong today? Does anyone have an experience where MS came out with vulnerabilities first?
Maybe their Premium customers get to hear the excuses first.

...The National Weather Service has announced it will offer early warnings for natural
disasters such as tornadoes and earthquakes to subscribers of its new "Stay Alive Platinum" service.
I am offering a low-cost service to users of Microsoft products. For a mere $5, you will receive a notice that says:
WARNING -- Your product is riddled with security holes!
There, now people can be warned.
Hurry, send in your money now! Otherwise you won't receive notice that Microsoft products are vulnerable!
