Yup,
times up William!
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/32449.htmlThe bug ridden, security flawed rubbish that you sell to innocent unsuspecting members of the general public, interestingly described as software, has been responsible for costing companies and individuals $millions of dollars in lost revenue and time over the past 3 weeks.
This is YOUR FAULT WILLIAM, as correctly described in the now well know blaster worm code.
If you wrote your so called software correctly this would NOT happen.
"Microsoft is confused why these worms continue plaguing users when the company's made great effort to improve the patch delivery process"
Er hello! :confused:
Why don't you dim wits read your own EULA's, doing so might just help you with your supposed confusion.
"...it baffles the mind why these well-known ports continue to be a major security vulnerability in Windows."
No it does NOT, we know why.. $MS and it's associated products are expensive rubbish, full of holes, that are intrinsically flawed at the lowest levels of the software design process. The criminal thing is $MS has absolutely no intentions of actually doing anything about it other than saying they are.
Consider - A car manufacturer releases a product that turns out to have intrinsic design flaws - They would (quite rightly) be forced to recall
the product fix it COMPLETELY AT NO COST to the owner. Don't tell me the patch you supply on your web site is the same thing it is not, that would be the equivalent of the car manufacturer sending me a new gearbox and telling me to replace the old one.
"FIX YOUR SOFTWARE BEFORE YOU HAVE THE ORDACITY TO ASK PEOPLE TO PAY THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR IT. HELL IF I BOUGHT A TOASTER THAT CRASHED AS MUCH AS YOUR PRODUCT(
I'D TAKE IT BACK TO WALLMART INTRODUCE IT TO THE SALESMAN'S BUTT AND DEMAND A REPLACEMENT THAT ACTUALLY DID WHAT IT SAID ON THE BOX!"
Code Red, Love Bug, Slammer, Nimda, Pretty Park, BubbleBoy, Melissa, Code Red II, MSBlaster, and numerous other high-profile Microsoft-sponsored incidents... The list goes on, and on, and on, and on, and.......
Still you know what to do if you want a bug fee, virus free, Trojan free life...
OFFER A PENGUIN CALLED TUX A GOOD HOME AND TELL WILLIAM WHERE TO SHOVE IT. AND WHILE YOU ARE AT IT MAKE YOUR NEIGHBOURS DO THE SAME, THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO POP ROUND AND FIX THEIR COMPUTERS EVERY TIME ANOTHER $MS ATTACK HAPPENS!
