Microsoft has no friends
geotopia@... 19th Oct 2009
Thought it was quite funny that they "don't recommend this for their
friends and families." Wow, powerful statement. When my friends and
family ask for a computer recommendation or computer help, I
certainly don't recommend Windows, Office, or Explorer. And I love
the phrasing of "doubling the area of the attack surface". At least
they're honest in the sublime admission that IE is a horrendously
insecure browser platform, though doubling it's "surface" is like saying
it's hard to miss the side of a barn, versus the side of a "very big"
barn. Wow, have they ever gotten weak under Balmer. If they didn't
make such crappy products since their inception in the 1970s, I'd
almost feel nostalgic about the days when Bill Gates was at the helm.
At least he was a formidable business man, but monkey-boy Steve
Balmer is just a wannabe.
