Ha! That's funny - well, at least they're choosing an antivirus program that actually works...and works well...(McAfee and Symantec don't care if they work - they care about selling product not fighting bugs). It's sad to think that they're just going to bundle bandages in their efforts to create a secure system - and it's not really "creating" is it? They're like "The Borg" - they assimilate programs into their OS and call it their own "feature" - aka Adaptec/Roxio? IF Microsoft were smart (duh) they'd just scrap all their code, start FRESH with a CLEAN SLATE and write and OS from the ground up that works from the beginning instead of constantly needing bandages and patches. -- Wed Jun 11 08:55:01 EST 2003 08:55:01 up 3 days, 18:46, 3 users, load average: 0.07, 0.15, 0.20 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * (CBG attends the Movementarians mass marriage ceremony) CBG: (to new bride) So, do you enjoy comic books?
