Chinese Program Exploits Windows

True I agree with what you said and I will leave it at that. it would be a never ending line of people trying to get Microsoft's money and their name on the front page news

Yeah it's just weird to think how people will go after the easiest way to get money. Just like SCO (or whatever the hell that company is called) going after the *nix users to get them to pay for the code in the OS they are using. I mean come on, ok so they have the "intellectual" rights to the code. To me it sounds like another case that will be in court right next to the whole RIAA and P2P file sharing case.

Oh well, some people just bug me on that subject... just can't let things go.

Well lately in the news it has been said that M$ has decided to release its source code to a dozen national governments in the effect to counter-attack the rise of switching to Linux in the cooperate world but they will not release it to small companies with under 1,500 Windows desktops.

Well M$ knows exactly how to play hardball. Hit them where it hurts. They are doing whatever it takes to stay on top without sacrificing much. Way to go M$, all respect due.

What do you guys think? I like the fact that Linux brought them to that level. Hopefully soon, their hands will be so tied that they might just improve the security in windows... hmmm maybe not... but we will see.

I like that thought cutty!

Yeah it is kind of interesting to see how M$ does it's business. That company will do what it takes to stay on top, just like riding a bull. Though I wonder if they will know when it's time to stop playing hard ball and give the people what they want.

Personally I don't understand why M$ is releasing their code to big companies and that's it? They think this is going to be an easy fix to the computer user moral or something? Not sure what their expectations are (and yes I've read the news... I'm just saying)...

Just a thought...

M$ is really not going away without a fight. They are trying to find loopholes in their competitors now. That's really interesting; I wonder what they will come up with. The fact is, M$ is actually opening their eyes now and realizing that they are not alone in this venture. They have competition and if they don't do something about, their wonderful dynasty might just fall apart.

I like what's happening. It can only benefit us. Better and more secured OSs. Way to go Linux and way to go M$ for the come back. I want to see what comes next.

Tiger Shark, I haven't heard from you in a while. Was just wondering where you stand on this.

AciD keep them coming.

Microsoft will do something because they don't want to lose any amount of money And I htink they should take some pointers from linux it would make a better and more secure product and who knows might gain some new users
