I know this and you know this, but apparently the guy who snipped my post doesn't. The real issue is how bad does a companies software have to be before consumers stop buying it?
Steve Gibson has been screaming about XP's gaping security hole for months. The OS allows access to raw sockets and, therefore, the entire kernel. How bad does software have to be for people not to buy it? I would make it a point to check out his Sockettome utility at. . .

Since when is keystoking a new and miraculous invention of the FBI? So they employed some virus writers to string together a few exploits with a keystroke logger- this somehow makes it a new technology? Or is it because the FBI developed it that exploits have changed or that you should suddenly be concerned with intrusion detection? This is obviously unethical, but if you have illegal content on your box it should be protected IF you really think it should be online!
