I know my employer won't be upgrading any time soon. In fact the main reason we are using XP is because the hardware supplier we use switched to a chipset that did not include drivers for NT.
As we are looking at moving to a 3 year rollover on hardware most of the hardware will not be Vista ready for at least the next two years, by which times there will be at least 2 service packs and numerous packs for the inevitable MSism in the OS.
They are doing this because M$' entire business model is based on SELLING their OS and/or application suites.
As the market reaches saturation point, as it likely has given how long Windows eXPploitable has been out, the income from such software starts to drop off. Therefore the income stream has to be boosted again by releasing a "new" product.
By making it seem that the new OS ias more secure than the last, not really a hard task given M$'s track record thus fare, they hope to lure in the flashing lights and shiny dudads brigade, namely upper management dolts who have as much technical clue and the average ant and who are attracted to fake exteriors, as evidenced by the trophy wives on many arms. These PHB's fall for the vendors marketing slimeballs blather and the sales droids blandishments and force the IT department to roll out the whole unholy mess on the poor suffering masses that actually do the work.
V is one of our homegrown energy drinks. Maximum recommended dosage is 1.5 350 millilitre bottles. I drink 2 a day. One for morning tea and one at lunch.
Considering that brewers main product is nothing more than stale watered down diarrhea from a syphalitic camel with leaking roids, rectal cancer and genital warts thats then been masticated by inbred hillbillies with oral herpes, perforated mouth ulcers and pustulant gums this new product does not exactly make me shiver with antici...pation.
It does amuse me that this new product is going to drive drug testers crazy with the new results they are going to get. And the mayhem that will ensue at the average frat house kegger when a bunch of drunken idiots who are wired on caffiene would certainly be a sight to see. It would make Animal House look like something that Dean Vernon Wormer would organise. And knowing how much of that liquid garbage it takes to get normal adults drunk that will be a hell of a caffiene rush!
I put all the known malware sites, ad sites and other scumsucking sites like Doubleclick in the hosts file with the address of 127.0.0.1
I also have them use Internet Explorer with the Internet Zone security settings set to disable Javascript and disable all ActiveX controls. Sites that need to use JS or ActiveX are put in the Trusted Sites with the security set to Medium (something I wish they would put in Mozilla)
Protects from most malware sites, parasiteware sites and has the bonus of stopping them falling into popup hell.
A side advantage is there is a lot less traffic from advert servers coming down, speeding up browsing.
Shit useless, unstable as fuck, pissant, fuckup my computer spy on my actions, sell my details, this company are as sleezy as kiddy porn distributors cuntware.
If M$ was doing this for "child protection" motives then the result would be consistant across all MSN "service" providers. It is not. There are a number of them who will be providing unmoderated chat room FOR A SUBSCRIPTION FEE. It is nothing more than a cynical ploy to try to make money in areas that haven't been looked at in the past now that they are starting to feel the pinch on other profits.

What a nice guy.
No. BTW, which part of Canada do you live in? Alberta, Quebec? New York? Rhode Island.
