oooh sorry i didn't use the word bug. again u connoted the meaning of feature to be a positive thing when in fact it is not. a feature is just part of the landscape. for you that feature was a boon, for the developer that feature was a bug.
I don't know about you guys, but without exploits I would be out of a job. There would be no need for administration or security. So.. bravo Microsoft, keep up the good work./me golf claps
you obviously missed the point. he is suggesting developing better patching systems so that all systems get updated SIMULTANEOUSLY. taking the responsibility off from lazy admins, or in my experience, no admin at all.
You ninny! Just because something is bad does not mean it is not a feature.
I think you have mistaken an accepted definition: An item advertised or offered as particularly attractive or as an inducement: a washing machine with many features.
With a more appropriate one: A prominent or distinctive aspect, quality, or characteristic: a feature of one's personality; a feature of the landscape.... and of course it is undocumented or the software vendor would have removed the feature before shipping the product.

no it's not worth it... especially on a slow machine, that sync takes forever.
