May be you need to know what a beta release is. In this case, a built in support of 15000 devices does not count as a lack of drivers in any way.
According to your logic Windows MCE was in still in beta. It is just a fact that OEM can always provide better support for hardware that comes with a computer.
Enterprise Servers can run either linux or windows. It depends on what service. The OS does not matter in most scenarios, it is the service itself.
Linux or Windows is not secure by itself in any regard, noth have a butt load of holes that come up every month. The systems Admin is key, and it is important to be security consicious.
Quit spreading FUD about either Windows or Linux Security, THEY ALL SUCK.
They never enforced it. They offered to licence FAT along with SOURCE CODE. It was optional, and not once did they go to court or force any company to sign up.
Firefox did have a bunch of remote exploits, http://www.mikx.de/, has a bunch of sample exploits for 1.0.1, 1, 1.0.2.
I always have found it hard to judge mozilla on patch responsives like IE because both of them keep secuity vulnerabilities hidden from public until a patch is available (which i do believe is good).
This is also why i hate comparing the 2 directly. But there are certain technologies that do deserve a bad name, for instance Active X because it was to easy to force users to install.
But compleltly agree that responsiveness is the KEY factor here.
That does not control anything via GPO, it just allows you to deploy FF through GPOs. What GP post was talking abt if for instance to control bookmarks, authorized extensions etc to be controled via GPO. Personally i hate the fact that FF lets users install extensions by default.
Take a look on Technet on the amount of control an admin can have over IE and its users. IE does excel there, and that is why IE is still the default browser where i work.
Wow you can actually compare a product that has not even been out for a year, and IE6 which has been over for over 3 years, and say one is more secure than the other, man do you need to take some logic classes. I would never claim as either browser is more secure, because right now FF might be secure, but tommorow morning it might not because of a zero day exploit. I seriously do switch between browsers based on the existing open exploits....
1. Yess they did lock down ActiveX in SP2. And it seems to be doing a much better job.
\
2. Yes/No/Maybe. Longhorn has lesat priviledge thing, but i dont think that iwlll happen in XP. Although technically possible, it is too much effort to convert everyone.
3. Training does not solve this issue, people trust email, and the web way to much. If training solved these problems, we still would not most of the mass mailing viruses still. Technology solutions are the best way to go, and sadly we have to wait until longhorn for regular people. Tech people i am sure can be smart enough to create a user account, and use runas if they need apecial priviledges.
well not really. Almost all worms that make use of vulnerabilities come after a patch has been released. So every that has auto updates are typically protected, the ones that dont are not.
And if someone does disable auto update (it is enabled by default in ff, xp_sp2) well there really is no point in disabling their auto update is there.
I think it just means that after 6 years, every major program blocks most executable attachments.(Outlook, OE, Thunderbird etc.)
So there is not going to be a major outbreak of mass mailing worms, unless people start finding flaws in html rendering engines to execute code...But that is what auto updates is for.
oh please it is a dialog box with a username and password area, there really is not much to copy.
For 3, i though you were actually talking about Apple "inventing" sudo feature, like most belive on slashdot. So i was just pointing out the difference.
I realize you dont care, but there are a lot of people that do care. This is a pre beta, what do you expect for a UI.
Dont know about you, my OS X box at work cant do anything well enough without atleast 512 MB of RAM. But you are correct that they barely use much of the processing for everything things.
1) There is a drop in windows already. you might not be noticeing it.
2) OS X, did not exactly make that feature, it is just sudo, with a pretty face. Windows has runAs which similar to su.
3) Unlike sudo in longhorn, the system actually uses lowest priviledge, as in even if you are logged in as an admin, your applications lauch with lower priviledges, unless you authorize them.
4) Aero i dont is backported....
The work you are looking for is "Enterprise". You really want temp folder, Internet cache, system start menu etc. to be on central server.
The current way, it allows sys admins to forward only My Docs, Desktop etc to the server while you keep the rest of the user profile locally.
There are also scenarios while having movign profiles, where application configuration between different versions do not get along.
I realize you are looking at it from a local view, but every one of those features in windows in usually extensible through GPOs, and central management.
Well no one would get anywhere... because Windows XP SP2 turns on firewall by defualt, so do macs, and so most linux distributions( other than debian & ubuntu)
if you open port up, well then it depends on the application and the service.
IIS 4/5 vs. Apache 1.x and IIS 6 vs. Apache 2 are completly different wars. IIS 6 has barely any vulnerabilities, Apache 2 has a lot. Web Application management features of IIS 6 are better than Apache. However i think apache has a better configuration model and has more modules that make life easier.
Sorry but that argument goes both ways. Just because something is a standard does not everyone is find a fault. No matter what cipher if the person has malicious intent it is a problem, and that is one that we deal with everyday with security vulnerabilities as well.
Standards have their own share of problems, if one major standard like 3DES is broken and is published, it will take a lot of effort to protect all the systems that use it.
I am not saying that what is said is the correct view, I am saying both sides have points but neither is really better.
No mp3 players play both. iPod is the only player that plays apple's protected AACs. Most other mp3 players in the market support MS's protected WMA. (but not all players that support WMA support the new napster to go)
Why is the parent modded flamebait. S/he is telling the truth about PHP on IIS/Windows. It does have terrible performance compared to Linux/Apache. And it is not because of IIS or windows either. PHP, runs as an cgi on Windows, because of stability issues with the PHP ISAPI plugin.
nope they never demanded fees, they made it optional for people to get a license, and get the source code as well. This never went to court, nor did they force people to buy into it.
Slashdot Mirror
Duh, 20% of market share does not make a product mainstream. And if you think 2 security advisories is a lot compared to Apache's 24.
If you were joking or being sarcastic well you went right over my head....

I would take SQL Server beta over Mysql anyday. SQL Server has been relatively bug free over the last year compared to other DBs out there.
Sorry for pegging you yet another /. drone. :)

good to know there are other here that like the older controllers. They dont make any new ones and the small ones just suck.... :-(

I think will just pay 500, and get a computer with my OS. Tribute, well i will leave that when this OS dies and the next one comes along....

Your post reminded me of harry potter. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named
Always cracks me up

iis 4/5 well sucked
Well look at the end of the after type, date etc. it is there.
It is also in the details view on the left tab. Or you could look at size in the tile view.

also at Apple, IBM, Dell, HP, and about every other hardware manufacturer out there....
