Re: Pretty Sad

I've never understood why some idiots paid Micro$oft an extortion fee to protect themselves from that OS. LOL!

If they truly wanted protection, better to go with a 3rd party vendor that takes security seriously. Hell, some even offer that software for free!!!

The only problem I ever had with OneCare is that, if Microsoft is offering it, why isn't it integrated into the OS like IE is? It should be a standard component of the OS installation, not some addon that takes up resources separately. Also it didn't do nearly as good a job as others like AVG - yet Microsoft should be the best at making an antivirus. That's of course assuming the rumors are NOT true (that Microsoft actually stole the Windows code and silenced the original creator). If they know their code back and forth, why would they be unable to stop things from happening better than others?
