  7. Re:a resounding thank you from the virus writers on Microsoft Beta Includes Built-in Virus Scanner · · Score: 1

    so, you see why the world switching to ONE standard virus protection software would be a Bad Idea.

  8. a resounding thank you from the virus writers on Microsoft Beta Includes Built-in Virus Scanner · · Score: 2, Interesting

    for years virus writers have had to make tough decisions on what anti-virus software, if any, their virus would circumvent. do I write for Norton, McAfee, Sophos? there are just too many choices to get around them all.

    once Windows AV has taken the market share and driven out the competition, this tedious job of getting around virus protection will become much easier.

    knock out Windows AV
    infect computer

  9. Re:iTunes crash bug on iTunes for Windows Reviews · · Score: 1

    Not sure if it was the same problem, but I got a nasty crash when loading my MP3 folder. Good thing for Windows' crash reporting option that allows software developers to fix and imporove their code. Any chance of Apple seeing a single one of those reports? ;)

  10. Re:Oh yeah.... on Microsoft Dismisses Apple's iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    What do you think Microsoft will do with all the crash reports sent in by Windows users? Fat chance of Apple ever seeing them.
