i heard ie 7 sand boxes the browser from the os? how true is this and will this help with against spyware? at least this way the malware will have to share a sandbox with ie (perhaps they can learn to get along and build a sand castle).
and hey let's wait for the product to come out before we trash it
buy startups instead of creating their own stuff

or maybe they need to start buying start ups instead of trying to create there own proprietary stuff, big companies are bad at innovation cause their existing technologies and products tend to prevent it.
that's great but it has nothing to do with what i posted, i said windows out of the box isn't secure. It is supposed to be simple look a the start menu it's retarded. But what microsoft assumed is that functionality (things working without user tweaks) was prefered to security. For example they left the built in firewall off so users wouldn't have a problem sending files over instant messanger. Turning a firewall on by default may frustrate users but forces them to learn some security.
I guess your point of trade off between ease of use and power is a good one, but there are many oses that have both such as OS X. Windows 2000 is easy to use and pretty power, I have no idea what you are talking about here.
again with the sensationalist headlines that has nothing do with the evidence presented in the article
the guys says "Engates added that his company manages 13,000 servers, roughly half of which are open source and half Microsoft. He claims to see little difference between the security on either platform."
Ya so windows servers are about as secure as linux servers, which is about right if you have an experienced admin that knows what he/she is doing
windows is not secure by default for a typical end user that doesn't know much about security
there is no argument
when my windows box guys gets owned 20 minutes after an install and when ie installs spyware on my parents computer, and my redhat fedora box has been on for 1 year with no problems, i don't think there is a comparison.
this article is from someone who doesn't use linux so it's fine he is ignorant but the fact it made it on slashdot is flamebait
that is invisible to the average user
im sure your friends will ask "how is this laptop floating? did you cast levitate?" instead of looking under it...
" Because of the unified development architecture that now encompasses the PC and the Xbox 360 - known as the XNA platform - it's highly likely that we're going to be seeing more and more PC games come with built-in dual- or multi-core support, since it will be relatively easy to convert over from the Xbox 360 version."

i searched/. to make sure it wasn't a repost but to my surprise this topic had been beaten to death when the xbox came out. but since u bring it up again, stuff dies cause no one cares about it. i still care about pc gaming (esp for rts type games where u need a mouse), thus pc gaming is not dead...
device does not address sleepy drivers, you can be a little drunk and still fall asleep at the wheel, for 600 dollars that's not acceptable. also how does this work
Dennis Crowley: "Asking people to opt-in with their location is not the slickest way to do what we're doing - we should be using GPS or cellular triangulation or require users to push the magic "I am here" button on their phones - the problem is those things just aren't available yet.
Alex and I specifically designed dodgeball to work with the phones that people carry in their pockets today. We always say, "it's no fun to build things that people can't use." The only way to get a critical mass of people using these apps is to focus on lowest-common denominator technologies. For us, that was text messaging."
My sister just got here laptop in december and now they expect her to pay 100+ dollars to upgrade? She just bought her laptop, etc.. but she doesn't want to get too far behind version, what should she do, upgrade every x.0 upgrade?
i can see all the spoofs with "it just doesn't work" with pcitures of bsod. My guess is we'll see SP12 with longhorn with all the fixes they'll need to put in it.
we do not deal/prepare with/for these types of threats well that have small probability but have large casualties. maybe something to do with innate gambling nature.

maybe they shoulds spend a portion of the money on cold fusion research...

"let's buy netscape"
AOL buys them and now AOL has a deal with Microsoft for using IE.
later ...
aol head: "hmm that didn't work what should we do now?"
"umm. how about buy winamp for 100 million dollars"
Justin Frankel (winamp creator) resigns
5 years later ...
aol head: "we are still broke, whatever happened to that winamp stuff we bought?"
"um we are working on some cool plugins! hey maybe we could make it open source! i hear mozilla is doing well and they are open source"
aol head: "good idea, we can make aim open source too"
yay!

my roommate works at @pple store and she says it's open late from 8 to midnight for all u apple geeks to go gawk.
Well I am hoping all the win 9x/2k/xp software I use now will work on longhorn. Like will IE 7.0 be compatible with all the spyware I have for IE 6?
