Another reason why I want to ditch Microsoft.......

[Tomas]

I love it how microsoft bash linux and other open source products for being slow with patch releases...

If such a serious threat was known in the linux world, then i bet a patch would have been released ages ago.

it is also ordinary "John Doe" that ditch windowsxp, becouse he dont know how to use it proper. and then buy a mac and think all problems are solved...

Well, how do i use my winxp properly now then, when there is no official patch released for this security hole?
I guess properly must be=not using it at all while waiting for this fix to be released?

I dont think there are enough alternatives due to lack of software on anything but Windows. I personally use Windows for games and Linux for mostly everything else.

if you want to play, get a playstation... or *drummroll* a classic amiga. i

I dont like the console way of gaming. I need both a keyboard and a mouse for my games. The Amiga was indeed great, but sadly there is not much games being developed for it anymore. I still enjoy a few classic games on my a500 though.

Sure, you could hook up a keyboard and a mouse to the ps, but  only 2% of the games support it and i also hate the fact that the playstation and similar consoles are totally closed for non licensed programmers.

You might like the console way of gaming, but i dont. A computer is superiour in most way imo.

And yes, there is a few alternatives but not so much when you are interested in playing games, which is why i run linux for most stuff while i run winxp for games that dont run under linux.
