Glenn & Gang,
I seem to recall hearing laughter in the background when I publicly
premised that M$ had sold out to the Feds to make a deal on their
illegal monopoly.
Now, with this latest attack -- which M$ reps blamed on administrators
failing to install the "fix" that had been readily available for some
time [how can downloading 200Mb of anything be considered "readily
available" is anothe question] -- maybe some people are laughing out of
the other sides of their mouths.
M$ has pushed me to the point where I'm wishing that "conspiracy theory"
and "class action law suits" weren't considered a bunch of crap ...
because I'd surely like to find a few thousand people who agree with me
that the only explanation for the continuing failure of M$ software is
an intentional plan to hogtie the internet and reduce the usability of
the majority of computers in the hands of the general population
world-wide.
P.S. Anyone who thinks that George W. wouldn't love being "Ruler of the
World" had better think again.
