Windows sucks



From WashingtonPost.com:

CNET's News.com painted its picture in somewhat darker tones, citing nervous cybersecurity experts: "The researchers believe that online organized crime groups are breaking into Web servers and surreptitiously inserting code that takes advantage of two flaws in Internet Explorer that Microsoft has not yet fixed. Those flaws allow the Web server to install a program that takes control of the user's computer. The extent of the attacks is unknown, but the security community has seen numerous cases of personal computers infected when the user merely visits a Web site. 'It is not epidemic, but it is being seen,' said Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering for security company Symantec. 'Do we think it is serious? Yeah. It's a concern and it's insidious.'"

Don't you hate it when big business doesn't care because it doesn't have to? We're Windows free at MaryPearl. Are you?
