    there seem to be too many anti-Windows articles. Do the editors jump at any feeble attempt to kick Windows while they are down from previous stories. How many times can people parrot off the same tired tirades they have against Windows? The folks in Redmond are doing us all a big favor in producing a great product like Windows. Without Windows, I don't know where else I can write emails, order things online, or play Minesweeper for 6 hours at a time.

    Microsoft has given advance notice that on February 8th, they will NOT be releasing patches for dozens and dozens of yet-undiscovered vunerabilities. Unhappily a day later they'll have a nice little webcast to answer questions about the vunerabilities they know, but not about the ones that have no clue about yet. Windows users, don't forget to dump Windows first thing Monday morning."
