Patch NOW! Microsoft slings emergency bug fix at Windows admins

Syntax Error

Slack

Microsoft invented the culture of buggy software. "Oh we'll fix that next patch time".

Windows users get excited when they hear the announcement of their new Windows OS "service pack".

I am suprised that Microsoft have not been sued out of existence as they knowingly sell faulty software.

Perhaps they should of really got rid of the NT kernel/FS after XP but they probably didn't bother because it was too expensive(sic) to develop.

This is going to make using windows phone fun! I've just blown by data allowance on yet another total re-write of my phone's OS from MS.

Windows sucks at patch day proves it again and again and again and again and again and again etc...

IE

Why does IE have so many bugs? Why cant they fix it? Its not a new piece of software. Are Microsoft programmers crap? Perhaps the next update to IE should just uninstall it.

Re: It's all good

"It's better to keep consumption under control than just let it explode"

Not so sure there would be the explosion you think. Amsterdam or Holland have never exploded in drug use.

Obviously medical drugs need to be controlled but they are not taken for pleasure so are outside the parameters of this debate.

Opiates should be controlled but psychoatives are not really addictive except for the mentally disturbed. People in my experience only take these types of drugs for an experimental period of time.

As for coke and meths well they should be marketed like champagne and vodka. Cocaine is very popular in the USA and certain British politicians.

The Indians don't want the "aid", but Dave insists. Can't you come out with something positive or are you jealous that for £45 million quid India has managed to get a probe(not a firework) into Earth orbit and hopefully in a year's time into orbit with Mars.

They also managed to get the project from the drawing board to launch in 16 months. They could teach our MOD a thing or two about project management.

Remedy is not a private company. Remedy describes itself as a "hybrid company".

Remedy is and always has been a government agency.

The selling of shares was thatcherism. The Government always pulls Remedy's strings..... and grabs its data.

This article is more about the management of yahoo and that is why BT are giving them the chop.

They failed to apply a wordpress patch for 8 months and loads of spammers exploited Yahoo mail through this wordpress bug.

Taking 8 months to apply an important patch in most IT departments would be unacceptable but for a company providing millions of e-mail accounts this is clearly unacceptable.
