that's was a rethorical question, btw. I suppose incompetence of an almost petrified juggernaut. or maybe fixing it would break some obscure feature someone pays for.
this IS a critical bug... onehundredandeighty days... 180 zero days. why? MS wants to drive up marketshare of competing browsers incompetence? MS employees acitvely exploiting the bug?
well, maybe he wants to do such a course.
OR maybe the LinuxFoundation needs money and thought a course taught by some celebrity will provide more of it. whatever, I think it's cool...but I'd rather have Bill Gates explaining how to set up an home network on Windows 95. Just for my private, perverse enjoyment.
I mean, without voluntarily looking for it? And how do you get it accidentally on a new PC?
Have they stored the bios on infected floppies, or what? Installed DOS first, because the Windows Vista upgrade is cheaper than an OEM version?
Tsk, tsk.
There are also more than enough who'd diagnose themselves and then rummage through their medicine box and every pill with a sufficient pleasant colour, or those who swallow three Aspirines a day, just in case..
And maybe something like a virtual machine? Of course it would bind lots of resources just for running, but maybe in a few years that will be indeed possible and still leave enough power for a lot of bling and stuff.
"More than open-source drivers, we need a good replacement for DirectX."
Unless the game companies start designing games for multiple platforms to begin with, or design for Linux firsthand, having a replacement would give you nothing. Hardly any or none commercial games would be made for it.
Unless DirectX gets ported to Linux, and there's a bigger chance that Vista turns public domain than that happening.

surely anybody who hasn't updated ie8 until now probably won't install a patch when it comes out either. I didn't think about that.

because they can?

Would be cool if I could connect xboard to it. Finally someone worthy to play chess against! :p
