No where does it say the patch "screws up" any of those programs. They may behave differently.

I'll install it when I get back home on a high speed connection. With any luck it'll fix more than it breaks.

Oh, well, as much as I hate to say it, Sargera is right.

Microsoft knows exactly what they're doing.

I'm sure these flaws aren't foreseen when they come, but they sure are monopolizing on them.

They've pretty much got everyone brainwashed into thinking SP2 makes Windows *that* much more better.
Plus, a whole bunch of other things I won't mention here.

There was an article on /. that posted an interview with Linus Torvalds.  He does an excellent job at speaking of and advertising open source.

The more I hear how great it is, the more I worry that it won't do nearly as well as they said.

I like how he says "Or not. and doesn't say a F-ing thing to elaborate on why he said it.
