Microsoft Says Recovery From Malware Becoming Impossible
An anonymous reader wrote to mention an eWeek Story about Microsoft's assertion that PCs may no longer be able to recover from the most aggressive Malware. From the article: "[Danseglio] cited a recent instance where an unnamed branch of the U.S. government struggled with malware infestations on more than 2,000 client machines. 'In that case, it was so severe that trying to recover was meaningless. They did not have an automated process to wipe and rebuild the systems, so it became a burden. They had to design a process real fast,'."
To switch to Linux. Since I said bye bye to Windows on my desktop the one thing I dont miss is spyware.
I trust Microsoft as far as I could comfortably spit a dead rat
Well, this is a bit offtopic, and you're right that they should refer to Windows, and I'm being way too pedantic, and I know language has changed with the times, but...
Macs aren't PCs. Well, yes, now they are I suppose, but they weren't. PCs and Macs are "microcomputers", or "micros" (though I suppose that's been adopted by microwave ovens now). IBM makes "PCs". Other manufacturers make "IBM PC compatible clones". Apple makes Macs. Commodore made Amigas. All microcomputers, but only IBM's are actually PCs.
