Microsoft Installs New Software Without Permission
Futurepower(R) writes "Even though I have Automatic Updates turned off, on August 28, 2007, between 3:49 and 3:51 AM PDT, Microsoft installed new files on my Windows XP computer." Nine files are updated on Vista and on XP SP1, a different set of on each, relating to Windows Update itself. Microsoft-watch.com's Joe Wilcox and ZDnet's Adrian Kingsley-Hughes confirm the stealth update.
After making them perform for us by dirty dancing, kissing together with their tongues, running their hands all over each other's bodies and doing a sexy striptease, we made them lay down on a table and do sixtynine while we fondled and squeezed their young bodies. Annalindy was lying on her back with her legs wide apart and up in the air while Carly was on top with his legs also wide apart but spread on the table either side of Annalindy's head. This position allowed us to smack and pinch and twist their childflesh while we fondled and felt them all over. Then we made Carly sit on a big pyrex bowl on the table to do his boy weewee and poopoo. When he'd finished weeing and going plopplop, Annalindy was made to lick and suck her pretty brother's cocklet and bummybot all clean. Annalindy was then made to do her weewee and her girly ploppies into the bowl as well, and Carly was made to lick and suck his gorgeous sister's dirty rude places all clean. Several of us were watching with our faces really close to the children. The bowl was placed on the table where both children were made to sit next to each other on chairs right in front of it. Annalindy was ordered first to take a handful of child plop from the bowl and put it in her mouth where she was made to chew on it before kissing it into her pretty brother's sweet mouth. Then Carly was made to do the same and kiss it into lovely Annalindy's mouth. This went on until all the kiddypoopoo had been eaten. Annalindy and Carly had both been sick while they were eating their pooey plopplops but we'd made sure that they squirted their kiddysick into the bowl where it now floated in their poo-stained little girl and boy urine. Also, while the beautiful childwhores had been eating their poos, many of us had wanked off and shot our filthy spunk into the bowl, gobbed our spit into it, urinated in it, one of us had also been sick into it, and another, an older man, had squirted his diaorhea into it. Finally, two more men oozed their turds into the revolting mixture. Annalindy was given a fork and made to mash up the manshit floating in the stinking liquid and mix it all together. She heaved and spewed her sick again, thankfully right into the bowl. The sweet, crying child was made to mix it all thoroughly. When it had all turned to a thick slurry, she and her cute brother were given a spoon each and ordered to drink all the liquid in the bowl.
*sigh* nice troll. 4/10
The greatest revenge in life is massive success.
Ubuntu installs the package "popularity-contest" by default, which reports every package you're using and how often. That's large scale stealth spying, but it's not proprietary so it should be ok...
Beautifully trolled sir, I commend you.
Why would you want to run a patched xp box???? It's not like it's more secure...the xp security is like swiss cheeze and many of their updates have been known to BSOD, crash computers, corrupt data or worse. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU TRUST MICROSOFT?!?!?!
Look at this: Unpatched software abounds on user systems, for those of you that want the government to take care of your health care, your roads, what other people are allowed to eat, making sure nobody smokes, ever, why do you balk at MS making you patch your system?
For those of you that say they should have released it as secure from the get go, show me how Linux was released as secure, without bugs, etc. Show me Moz, show me GIMP, show me any of your OSS applications that were released that way.
Since the browser is the most used on almost any system, show me that all the issues identified have been patched faster than MS patches. Show me that Moz/FF has responded to ALL. Nope, its still has existing issues that have not been patched.
Deal with it, you're pissed at MS for being the top dog. Then you've looked around for the low hanging fruit, that exists for all projects, for your justifications.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong fix.
Could you elaborate how the updates to the Windows Update subsystem have the capability of breaking Killer App A? I'm curious to know.
As evil as this is, don't think that MS doesn't know anything about backward compatibility. They already bend over backwards to ensure older programs run, often going to the level of fixing memory management issues via shims. Why would they want to create more work for themselves? Oh, right, because they are innately evil and out to screw everyone. I forgot what site I'm on.
Yeah, this is why I run Linux 2.2 and make sure Firefox has auto-update disabled; if they can convince me to update the software on my computer, or (heaven forbid) do it automatically, next thing they'll be brainwashing me and giving me anal probes.
By the way this update is probably Microsoft doing something incredibly evil, like fixing bugs or updating a protocol or something.
Tomorrows news: Security hole found in Windows, but Microsoft are refusing to provide a way to close the security hole without installing unwanted and potentially devastating new code.

Block M$ from your computer entirely and you will save yourself both time and money. Windoze is treacherous from first install and you can't really tell the difference between one update and another's worth of binary crap.
Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.
