Microsoft and it's security (or lack thereof) (General Discussion)
Microsoft and it's security (or lack thereof) // General DiscussioncozmoJan 2, 2002, 8:42pm
It seems almost every day i get a new e-mail anouncing a new security flaw
in one of Microsofts products. I get really pissed at the amount of patches i have to apply EVERY DAY! Don't they test these things? I say they hire a hacker to try and hack into their products in a closed invironment. Companies do that don't they? They should do something more to try and find these flaws BEFORE people start using them. At least they ARE finding the flaws though... bowenJan 2, 2002, 8:44pm
LoL They're finding the flaws because a nice cracker group will tell them.
:) Without those nice crackers the bad ones would ruin the computer industry. Switch to Unix/Linux/BSD/Mac for other alternatives, which are extremely more secure then windows.. hopefully AW will release a non DLL/Unix SDK so we can make a linux port. --Bowen-- [View Quote] cozmoJan 2, 2002, 9:08pm
I am using 98SE..... and it has just as much flaws as XP and ME do....even
more (becuase its had more time to find them). Patches are coming out all the time even for 98 [View Quote] |
