Microsoft Shrugged
In a glowing example of how clueless Microsoft developers must be, there’s a new (well, three days old and in Microsoft security lapses news, that’s actually kind of not so new as they’ve probably found 10 more since then) security risk associated with Explorer that was so obvious that it was found by the French.
Read it here.
You know, when was the last time you saw anything like this for Apple’s ‘Safari?’ Rarely if ever. Netscape, not so much either.
Really, I’m thinking about dropping this subject just to save time on the all the redundancy.
Ironic Update: As I was typing this, Explorer encountered a "flaw" and shut itself down twice.
I love it.

Dood, get hip to firefox (www.mozilla.org). It's the fastest, most stable, most full-featured, least Microsoft browser out there. All the cool kids are using it. And it even works under Windows, for those days when you are feeling "not so fresh."

heh... Microsoft. I can only laugh these days.
You know that "Longhorn" OS they've been working on for, well, years? c|net is laughingly reporting on some of it's advanced, futuristic features. Stuff like "photo-quality wallpaper" (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3672_7-6300167-2.html?tag=ss) and "individual accounts" (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3672_7-6300167-4.html?tag=ss) and "control panel groups" (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3672_7-6300167-6.html?tag=ss) and thumbnails of graphics (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3672_7-6300167-10.html?tag=ss) and...
so on.
In other words, don't sweat the move from Mac OS X to Windows, because eventually, Windows will copy all of the OS X features. Like any copy, there will be replication errors, you know, like buying a knock-off pair of Levi's.
But hey, at least you're not buying an "overpriced" Mac.
(You know, I keep seeing those posts on the net, people bashing Macs saying they're "overpriced." Meanwhile, if you actually compare prices rather than repeat that myth, you see that Macs are comparably priced and in many cases -- laptops especially -- cheaper.)
