Told You So
I knew you brilliant folks on the other side of the pond wouldn't let me down!
Classic comments all... does Sarah need a new keyboard, or have you become immune?

It seems every time I'm asked to "fix" an infected PC (Vista or XP) it usually has McAfee installed. Of course Comcast is "giving" it to all their high speed internet customers. I just tell the client that their software is worth just what they paid for it.
And the Symantec corporate AV that I use has decided that Reflexive Arcade games are all trojans and need to be quarantined. Ah well, back to the drawing boards...
A "New" release for Windows.... where's my barf bag? I just ordered a brand new machine and it will have XP, as my Win2k machine is getting a little long in the tooth. I have just seen to many Vista machines with malware, and virii, and odd quirks in behavior not to mention those GD wizards to be bothered. I can't wait to see what kind of surprises this "new" os has for us.
Let's see:
DCOM -- broken, kind of
RPC -- broken, kind of
activeX -- very broken
MS virtual machine (was java until Sun sued them)-- broken, kind of
.Net -- ver. 1.0 broken
.Net -- ver 1.1 somewhat broken
.Net -- ver 2.? somewhat broken
.Net -- ver 3.0 broken, kind of
.Net -- ver 3.5 ???
Why do we put up with this?
