I'm sitting here laughing

Post by Tsuroerusu » Sun Jan 01, 2006 7:06 pm

I'm sure everyone has heard of the new EXTREMELY CRITICAL Windows meta file exploit, which already are being used to put spyware, trojans, viruses and other crap malware on people's machines.

This is when I just sit back and start laughing, not because I think it's funny that people's machines are getting trashed and possibly data lost, but I think that this really proves how pathetic the security of Windows is. When was the last time Linux, or FreeBSD for that matter, had an exploit this serious, I sure don't remember any.

Did I mention that this exploit is in ALL versions of Windows, 95/NT/98/ME/2000/XP/2003 every single one is vulnerable, wouldn't surprise me if 3.1 was vulnerable too.

Microsoft hasn't released a fix for this hole yet, but I have one: INSTALL LINUX AND BE DONE WITH IT!!

Same here. I just sit back and laugh at all the Windows users who are too lazy/dumb to use more secure operating systems. If you don't want to learn Linux, just buy a Mac. There's absolutely no reason to use Windows these days, unless you're forced to at work, or are a die hard PC gamer.

Or hire a local geek to install a KDE-centric Linux distro (I say KDE because it looks a heck of a lot more like Windows than GNOME does, which will help inexperienced Windows users get comfortable a lot faster) and use that instead of crappy software like Windows.

ROFL, I just found out that this vulnerability is in every version of Windows starting at 3.0, and that shit was shipped in 1990!!!!!! Almost 16 years ago!!!!!!!! They've had 16 fucking years to fix this thing, this shows how bad Microsoft are at designing operating systems.

That is just hilarious!!!!! As we probably all know, Microsoft can't design a safer operating system as long as they don't rewrite the whole thing from 100% scratch and not use a single line of code from the current crap, they pulled out of Bill's toilet, called Windows.
