You figure we can come up with an open-source solution to this problem, or is it only something that the VirtualPC programmers can really pull off? I figure you can make it running under linux, however for real performance you need access to the virtual machine to make OPTIMIZED access to the video card. There is a huge performance difference in this. As soon as you run graphics intensive programs (games?) the unsupported drivers will fall behind. SO as soon as 3d accelerated graphics become the standard for user interfaces linux will practically be unsupported. In that case you might as well run BOCH. (did i write that correct?) good emulation, but no performance.

atguard (firewall + adblocker + anonymizer) was a great product. Until symantic bought it and it became desupported. It has isses with XP and the adblocker is not up to date.
Besides a firewall it already had an adblocker. That feature was not in symantic firewall. I am supprised it took them 3 years to include this feature into their product.

If it takes a long time to get 2.6.0 stable developers will start to complaint that they are not allowed to make new features. Then there are 2 options: feature creep in the new 2.6 testseries (a new MM 8) ), or start a 2.7 tree. The thirth:

You should read "sold" as in "printed on a disk" label instead of "sold from a shop". Then the keeping track is much simpler.

-Return CD to shop with a "this cd does not work on my player"

What i can see is that they are talking about activex and the way it is integrated.

The must fix list is not stable at all over time. It grew so big he made a split over must-fix and should-fix.
and ther should be anology's between 2.4-test and 2.6-test

is when the chinese copymachine get a serious paperjam.
There are a lot of people that try to reach it only to be whipped back by the virus after 2 minutes when the PC restart.
It is very hard to download a antivirus/patch when you are infected.
windows updated (wup) is getting its beating now!
IBM is doing nothing more than asserting the rights the GPL gives them.
They sue for damage, not for copyright violation. Or is this legal talk confusing me?
1. disconnect PC from network.
2. Remove MSBLAST.exe from filesystem & registry (see the page of the antivirus producers for exact instuctions)
3. Patch the PC
4. Firewall it in case you didnt patch it right.
5. Save your data at a convienent time (LIKE NOW!)
6. Reinstall windows because someother virus might be there as well.
Reinstall windows is the "give up" option
