Title: Viruses and hackers make Windows more secure - Gates
Post by: sime on 28 January 2004, 16:18
Oh boy....

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/35145.html (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/35145.html)

So let me get this straight... Bill's software is so insecure, badly written and full of bugs, that hackers and viri writers are now his test department.

Well isn't that just so Mickeysoft! So if Billy boy were the owner of the Ford motor company he would congratulate people involved in RTA's saying that all the deaths and accidents were in fact contributing to future road safety!

Pardon me for being stupid but shouldn't your software work CORRECTLY before you SELL it to companies and the general public Bill?  

STANDARDS, STANDARDS AND I SAY AGAIN STANDARDS, AND IF YOUR SOFTWARE DOES NOT MEET SET STANDARDS YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL IT!

Well the virus writers are simply providing feedback to all those developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers, developers...............


EDIT: I also find it hilarious that Bill said that the "smartest" hackers are writing viruses for windows............yes, most those writers are about as intelligent as they are old-aged.

"It would be wrong to say an operating system is more secure because nobody is attacking it," said Gates, in a clear dig at OS rivals such as Apple and Linux.


There he goes again...  :D   Did Bill know that Debian was attacked?  (http://redface.gif)

Getting customers to apply patches - vital in cutting down routes viral spread - is a thorny issue for Microsoft. Only one in five (20 per cent) customers are up to date with patches, Gates says.


Yes, because you have to restart everything when you apply MS patches!  People in IT don't like rebooting major servers.  Plus, all the dumbass people use Windows.


That last statement brings me to what I think is a major point: PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT HOW THEIR COMPUTERS FUCKING WORK.  OSs like Linux try to teach their users about their computer, when Windows does no such thing.

As usual Bill Gates talks shit out of his arse!

I cannot understand how he gets away with saying this crap - microsoft is like some sort of brainwashing cult.

Do windows users actually believe this shit?

Oh by the way I forgot to mention... I got an email with the new virus last night.

Unfortunately - I run Mac OS X Panther (this totally insecure operating system) - mac mail app just deleted it - shame I wanted to click on the attachment to see what it would do!

Being a Mac user for many years I wanted to experience the feeling of panic, fear and despair that every windows user feels when they hear the word 'virus'!!!

Shame - I'l have to wait for the next windows virus (next week then!)

LOL - You need your bloody head seeing to if you are anyway considering buying a fucking windows os pc!!!

I'd say most people don't update, because even the updates/patches have holes and bugs.  You get nowhere.  All there patches fix some bugs and create new ones.

Sorry that file is in a nonstandard facist apple format, I am not a member of the Elite Apple Users party so I cant view it.

Please attempt being a little less closed minded and realise that some people like to run Linux, and forbid i say, Windows.

Er, binhex is not an Apple format. In fact, I don't think it's even proprietary. Try opening it with Stuffit (yes, it's available for Linux).
