what exactly? Their software has always been buggy as hell,and the security hole in the image viewer has been there since windows 3.1 It always amazes me to think people PAY for this garbage. Not vista, but any currently selling Micro$oft product. Take office 2003, you have to "activate" it by giving your installation I.D.and product key to Micro$oft. If that key and id have been used more than x number of times, the software is useless because you cant save anything. Their "Activation Process" is more than breakable, because my friend's copy of Office is on 15 computers. This is just so they can have your Windows installation ID and hardware hash on file. And if my instinct is correct, these servers are running windows, not anything secure like apache. Don't count on anyone not being able to read said ID, which UNIQUELY identifies your machine, and your machine only, which makes for a possible ID theft scenario. Believe it or not, win95 is possibly the most secure and definitely most stable of any windows desktop OS. Win XP just makes you feel safer with its cartoonish and buggy interface. There is almost nothing different from Win2k to XP. Same security hole, same bugs, different interface.

This is not tnlefty, but from her son.
