Open Letter to a Digital World

Posted by michael on from the no-one's-listening-la-la-la dept.

jg21 writes "Exasperated after spending 5 hours removing spyware and trojans from his wife's Windows PC, sysadmin Chris Spencer has written an impassioned Open Letter to a Digital World. In the letter he reviews the 'elephants in the closet' - i.e. unfixed bugs and glaring security vulnerabilities - that Microsoft in his view hopes ordinary users will ignore, including some discussed in previous Slashdot stories."

    "The bugs he describes have already been fixed in Windows."

    Which bugs?

    The ones they announced last week?

    Or the ones they will announce this week?

    Or the ones they will announce next week?

    Or the ones they will announce shortly after the release of Longhorn (sometime in 2008)...?

    It's irrelevant what bugs Microsoft fixes. Windows IS a bug. So is Gates.
