Windows Media Player Flaws Found

<< < (2/3) > >>

voidmain:
I had no problem doing so (other than it being a lot of work because you have to follow the directions and compile the prereq stuff).  I'll admit it was a pain, but not impossible.

choasforages:
errr, i should have said redhat 7.3, they axed the gcc 3 packages. i had to run around the internet looking for cool things to use with it. every watched a music video in ascii art. try that with windows.

rtgwbmsr:
Doesn't anyone at micro$lut notice that when there is security flaws in something that is just supposed to play music (and videos) that something is very, very wrong. Seriously, since they have so many bugs, why don't they put the things in patch packs instead of having to download each individually? No that would be too smart...

Mandrake + Red Hat - Perfect together

KernelPanic:
They have multiple patches so that when windoze users have to install them they get into the rythmn of clicking 'yes' to the EULA's and then on the last one, Microsoft includes Clause 5.67.a. which states:

'We own you, your car, your soul, oh and Bill likes your little sister so we'll have her too and yeah your wife would be nice, and er we quite like the look of your Hi-fi'

That's why...

Calum:
ho hum, i'd prefer to see what i'm getting if i was ever going to download a patch. If i know i'm patching one thing, i'd like to not have to also download megabytes of fixes and gods know what else for things i have never had any problems with, much less used.

On my WinME side, i have downloaded only one update package ever. It is just over a year newer than my actual windows CD, and quite frankly, i will never be installing a windows upgrade again. It's things like these that tip windows' dubious stability right over the edge. I always know it's time to reinstall windows when more than 50% of my CDs corrupt when writing, and that seemed to be the main feature of this "upate". Christ knows what it was supposed to fix...
