Can someone XPlain to me how a well-respected company like Microsoft can bring out an OS, claiming it to be their most secure and reliable so far, when it immediately requires multi-megabyte patches to actually make it so? If they didn’t spot these glaring problems before it went out the door, what else is screwed up with it, even with patches? I would like someone to remind Microsoft that we are all still waiting for a robust, secure, and reliable operating system, with less features and much more rigor. Most of the new features in XP have been provided by third party software companies for years now. Microsoft jump straight in, thinking they can gain that XPerience in the flurry of development before the release of their new baby. I havealso noticed, since XP’s release, that Zonealarm is reporting far more “untraceable” ip packets, in attempts to compromise an internet-connected PC. Just as Steve Gibson predicted. Perhaps hackers should bring down the grcsucks.com site!
