More and more, showing why you can't trust Microsoft

This just shows that Microsoft has a total disconnect from its customers and really has no clue as to how the real world operates.

When loading a new PC with Windows, I never allow it to be connected to the internet until it has been patched. Otherwise, there are too many ways that it can be probed and hijacked. At least with the current level of patches, you are down to just the most recent vulnerabilities, rather than the whole gamut. Additionally, I much prefer a single download to the multiple downloads on multiple PCs with innumerable reboots between each.

Well, between this and the Vista farce, it is pushing me to concider the Mac or Linux. I'm still trying to figure out what the Genuine Advantage is.
