And here's a rational and thoughtful response[^] (from another Canadian even :)). Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] Remember that in Texas, Gun Control is hitting what you aim at. [Richard Stringer] Nice sig! [Tim Deveaux on Matt Newman's sig with a quote from me]

Martin intends to ask Microsoft for an unconditional warranty that the operating system is free of bugs that could result in security vulnerabilities. The day he creates a complex and loophole-free legal document I will ship bug-free code.

" Andy Martin of The Committee to Fight Microsoft on Tuesday announced his intentions to block Microsoft from releasing Windows Vista. Martin intends to ask Microsoft for an unconditional warranty that the operating system is free of bugs that could result in security vulnerabilities. " Will that apply to all software vendors? It will be fun having computers with zero applications to run on them... :eek:

I don't think such a long and thoughtful response is required. Just one question: "Did you, or did you not click on the "I accept" button after reading the EULA?" Matt Gerrans

True. But nobody blame stability, but security. That is the problem. :suss:

Security is a problem associated with an era, not a specific product. Not that long ago, security was not much of an issue, because few networks were interconnected, as they are today. There are just as many security problems in other products than Windows XP. It's just that the user base of Windows XP is so much bigger than for any other operating system, there's no "incentive" in attacking such systems. Good music: In my rosary[^]
