Review: Try this out... A major car manufacturer sells you a car and then tells you it is totally unsafe. But he will sell you a 'safety package' for 30% of the price of the car. Next he tells you he is not responsible for anything that happens with the new safty package. When will SP2 be a charge add on??

Review: You guys are nuts. Bill and Microsoft are doing a great job. You seem to forget that the OS wars ended 20 years ago. Get over it. It's a Microsoft world.

Review: John Dawkins there is no such thing. As we all know "hacking" as they say, is illegal. That is why there is no such software, except the custom made software written by hackers themselves. Don't you know that hackers do not use Microsoft? It is because they know that Microsoft is pure crap and goes for the money of their customers. If you would like to attack then you should do it on your own, and only through your own knowledge.

Review: Yeah, trusting Bill Gates with my computer is like having Koslowski/Ken Lay/or the Wall Street Gang of Unindicted Racketeers keeping your family fortune/401K/IRA safe from thieves. Give me a break! No more silly and rediculous coverage like this, BW!

Review: So Microsoft is charging a fee for a product designed to fix holes in products they create?

Review: So the way I see it is, Microsoft builds insecure software and sells it. Microsoft then turns around and sells the fix to the insecure software they created in the first place. This is genius. At least it looked better when it was another company selling the fix. I think Microsoft should invest in the current security companies like McAfee and Symantec, and keep building insecure software. And maybe Microsoft could also sponsor a team of fraudulent crooks to exploit the security vulnerability. Microsoft will get rich this way? Hooo, wait they already are, hehe.

Review: Folks keep saying Apple doesn't get hacked like Windows because there's not as many users using OSX. This is partly true. It's a fact that OSX and Linux both are much more secure. Heck, even the source code is open source (not entirely for OSX, but the BSD part), and you can't tell me hackers aren't biting at their nails to find holes in these systems. Windows is the hugest target, granted. But it gets the most exploits not only because of this, but also because of the shoddy code and holes. Fact: Believe it or not, Unix-based systems (Linux included) are MUCH more secure then any OS Microsoft has every released.

Review: I like this comment: "Microsoft has a history of getting it right over time," says Andrew Jaquith, analyst at Yankee Group. So, how long a wait is an "acceptable time" for them to "fix" a non-working piece of security software? Mac OS X? Let's not be naïve! Most hackers aren't interested in what Mac users have or do. The majority of Mac users are only advanced science departments at universities, the arts industries (i.e. music, video, movies, fine art, print, etc.), Microsoft's graphic design department (and Mac development department, of course), and those who want to do work on their computer without having to do constant maintenance on it. And there's no money or confidential material in any of those things!

Review: How about making software that attacks hackers? I would love to turn the tables on spyware servers and hackers and have my computer ready to fight back rather than just delete. How about a good offensive? Maybe it's because Microsoft and others are behind the viruses and spyware in the first place.
