| Just reading todays news and another WORM is circulating the internet, due to Microsoft's crap software, im pissed off, everyday theres a new Worm out, another Patch, another lame download, another Service Pack, Bagle-B ? lol who the hell thinks of these names, Anyone else fed up with Microsoft, I re-formated my Hdd two days ago and as soon as i established an internet connected ' Valla ' Your PC will shutdown in 60 seconds, im really conciderin getting my UNIX Manuals out and installing something really secure. Could be worst i could be a network technican running windows server 2003 :) lol. |

That happened to me, too! A word of warning to anyone thinking about re-formatting or re-installing Windows: ensure you have the MSBlaster removal patch somewhere. It's difficult to download it when establishing an internet connection instantly primes your PC for random automatic reboots!
It is frustrating that new Windows vulnerabilities seem to keep being discovered (and subsequently exploited) on a daily basis, but perhaps it's an inevitable consequence of Windows being such a widespread operating system. |

Bashing Microsoft is so last millennium.
Windows is not that bad if properly set up. |

| im sure the current worm is sent via email , so if people actualyl checked emails etc before they open attachments, or ran some anti virus software (www.grisoft.de, ffs its free!) these things wouldnt be as bad. |

Exactly. My XP machine at work runs for a week or 2 with no rebooting always on the internet, running all sorts of DB/development tools. You gotta know what you're doing I guess. When you get an email that says "From Microsoff, please download NOW! Must fix patch now!" you have to know not to run that program.
Of course macs/linux machines aren't the target of virus writers since there are hardly any users compared to the number of MS users. |

Me too, me too. I especially like the fact that I don't get the Blue screen of death every 30 min like on my PC |

| I didn't mean to do any bashing...it's just that there is a higher user base for windows which makes it easy to target...I actually like windows 98 alot, it's the best os they made. |
