I beg to differ with your idea on the general public loving M$. I work in a retail store as a tech, and have over the last year, experienced a growing number of people _looking_ for non M$ products. Add to that the number of people they are getting to sign up for M$N and the dissatisfaction I've deen from that ( their password authentication server is like a yoyo up...down...up...down ). The general populace is becoming more dissatisifed with M$.
AOhelL on the other hand is beginning to terrify me.
Ummm Buffer overrun on date field to execute arbitrary code from HERE or just the fact that "Enterprise level" software has a vulnerability like a scripting host in the default install. Perhaps the fact that the same company that brought you this HTA Exploit might make some one wary. To partially use your example just because all of this companys other lines of cars explode dosn't mean this one will. No really!!
AOL bypasses the hosts file. It seems to connect to a proxy first that does all the DNS. I've been trying to figure out how to block this in a simple (read an AOLer can understand way). Any one else have a way to block something within AOL's ( Internet Explorer that's been registry mangled) browser. Specifically I want to block the incedibly offensive ads.web.aol.com URL.
I didn't look too closely at the decision, but I think the following scenario has merit. Poor schmoe uses a horrible operation system. Said operating system dies taking down the users work (regularly). Can that user now sue the maker of the OS as not being fit for the purpose sold? How about if the OS has been documented by the producer admiting to the existance of oh, say 65000 bugs? If you only had 2 hours worth of work at 25-30 $/hr $50-$60? Just an idea...
