Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Fine, lets be punctilious
And go with [?s] sig

Microsoft Outlook - one giant macro virus attractor

(We could list other add-ons with regular access to root, but I get writers cramp)

Oh - are *ALL* your M$ pieces patched consecutively to 1/23/02?

(And if you don't lie.. and they really Are.!.) Care to estimate the % worldwide that are:

A) Ever patched, from monopoly preload day 1?

B) Patched ~ 1/10th of available ones (IF you use IE at M$.com, that is - else it is apt to bounce you sans any patch until you "upgrade" - remember?)

C) Worldwide: patched 100% thru 1/23/02 ???


Rest case. For now.
(We won't go into what else gets broken after a patch - all those C-pointers that got lost in the er compiler?) Maybe we can just settle on it being Toxic Toy Software?
New punctilious?
Ashton

we obviously have our differences but

my stuff is not all patched

have no idea what % worldwide is

have run patches the day I installed a new product

but this all has nothing to do with

a) the article that was cited at the beginning of this thread

b) my request for a legiitmate example

New Well.. to be really punctilious -
I'd agree with your complaint. That is, Windows is unlikely to be downloaded onto someone's machine via Back Orifice or whatever.. and to replicate itself attached to e-mails etc.

But as metaphor.. ya gotta admit (??) that the number of worldwide hours/$ spent thus far - repairing Windows anomalies on all scales - approaches that of rebuilding the Great Pyramid, with the (missing) outer sheath of limestone replaced with Gold.

No?
