    and other free things that pc games have had for a long time. That want to lock things down to there way and as it is that will be very bad for pc gaming. EA games likes to nickel and dime you on there xbox 360 games.
    It would suck to have a MMORPG type game where you would have to pay The full cost of game, live gold, the games Monthly Fee, and live points for content updates.

    M$ need back down on pushing game to be dumbed down to support xbox controllers, be more open to cheaper ESRB stile ratings organizations, support the use of user made mods and user made maps online with out any kind of lock down, Let developers have games that can be Cross-platform with pc - xbox 360 - mac os x - ps3, and so on.
    Some of the Platform standards for a games of windows are good but they should add a common update system that is easy for games and other apps to use and is free for developers to use to make easy to keep all of your games up to date.

  8. M$ lack of Security comes from on Security Isn't Just Avoiding Microsoft · · Score: 3, Informative

    Apps that where design back in the 9X and 3.1 days where there was little to no multi user, admin vs user, common dirs, and so.
    Apps that need admin so they can auto update them selfs
    A/V apps like Norton home that needs a admin users logged in for it to be able to get the updates.
    Games copy protections that needs admin to run that should be other ways to do this with messing the the ide drivers or needing admin just to check if you have a good copy of the game.

    It would be a big help if MS came out with a common update system that is easy for games and other apps to use and is free for developers to use. Then you can at lest get rid of having to deal with games and other apps having there own built in updates and needing admin just to run them as some force you to get the updates to use them. This system can also make it easy to keep your whole system up to date. You will just need to be an admin to run that common update system or even let it be setup to auto run in the back round at system level. Also MS needs to let get the all of the updates form windows update using auto update. Runas does not work for windows update in windows xp and 2000 and you need to run that to get the Optional updates.

    Also put the full video drivers on windows / M$ update.

  13. somes school's have very poor ITand the rules..... on Why Are Students Liable for School Insecurity? · · Score: 1

    Need to be bypassed just to get work done that needs to be done. Students / teachers some times need to by pass Security just to get software / websites to work that are needed for class. Systems that only have a admin login for all users and the school district IT people don't have the time / manpower / funding to lock things down and make the software work at the same time.

    school district should be liable for things like keeping the systems up to date and the teachers should have to go to JAIL for porn that comes from spyware, popups, out of date web filtering software and other things that they do not know about / have control of.
