Got spyware or virus on your windows box? Microsoft has a cure!
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5705430.html

Yup, microsoft is now doing a subscription service!

And, yes, this raises the bar to the concept of "I'll break your leg then you can lean on me".

Fuckers. They need to stay OUT of the virus fixing industry and, hell, the OS industry too.

Just wait until hackers break through their service and misdirect all the client PCs. :rofl: Well, it's not funny but that's one thing I'd expect hackers to do.

7. i have five pc's on my home network..
one one running 98, one with ME, one triple boots between ME, 2000 Pro and 2000 Server, and two running XP Pro. I haven't had a virus in seven years, and I pull Terabytes worth of *ahem* compromised data.

You don't need Mac or Linux or OS2 or QDOS. Just keep your virus definitions updated and run some spyware scans.

2. It would be cool if you could Photoshop that dog...
...whizzing on Microsoft's headquarters.

I really hope a place is being kept warm for Bill Gates in hell. Really. He's nothing more than an opportunistic little worm who has somehow been elevated to the status of Godhood.

:evilgrin:
