What do you people who run beta MS OSā€™s do for fun? Iā€™m thinking something along the lines of slamming your nuts in a car door. Why punish yourself? Just wait for the production version, Iā€™m sure there will still be plenty of bugs to check out then. ---

Anyone want to take bets on whether or not they found all of the buffer overflow holes before they released it this time?

first security patch will be within the first week and a halfā€¦ first service pack within 4 monthsā€¦ bottom line is OSes are so complicated now that once it is released a million and one ways will be found to exploit it that the programmers never thought of. they are pressured to get the damn thing to work reliably enough on a percentage of systems (think dell/gateway prepackaged systems) so other things must be sacrificed to keep the big wigs happyā€¦ ---

ahh microsoftā€¦ still trying to look like and work like apple after so many yearsā€¦ yet they keep on coming up with buggy software that gets viri in 4 min after connecting to a high speed line.

Uhh, no? The object dock was actually in development since early 2000. I had a version oh Longhorn in the summer of 01 that had an early version of the ā€œdockā€ well before your precious apple OS did. Nice try.
