| Re: I won't be the first to get it!! Well I've been using it since release candidate 1. The funny thing is. No one seems to point out 1 SP2 hasn't been effected by any of the recent "exploits". 2 a simple pop up blocker negated the 2nd flaw. 3 the 1st flaw was similar to what occurred with Nimda. But you didn't see near the uproar you saw this time around.
As has been stated in several other post and threads. Security by obscurity will only work for so long. SP2 is definitely a step in the right direction. But as I stated awhile back. Either way Microsoft is screwed PR wise. They start getting serious about a built in antivirus and firewall. They are going to get hit on the antitrust issue again. They don't get seen as taking security seriously they get bad press as well. So no matter what they do. There will be issues brought up by users. And Microsoft has yet to do the one thing that would in fact give them good PR. Let users have the choice to uninstall some built in features. Such as IE, Windows Media, Messenger, the built in firewall etc.
