The second question is, if unauthorised electronic voles can scurry around in your Xbox patching up holes and leaks, won't we soon be seeing the same happen on people's desktop computers? The answer, of course, is yes, as we already reported. The idea is a two-edged sword: On the one hand it could provide better protection against e-epidemics such as the MSBlast worm that infected hundreds of thousands of machines a few weeks ago.

BYE BYE XBOX!

this is illegal in most countries and especially in germany (without asking for permission to update)

lets pray its the end now :)

On the other hand, automatic updates provide the possibility of foul-ups of hitherto unseen dimensions. A quickly rushed out security update with a bug in it could be automatically propagated to millions of machines. If the bug was severe enough to prevent users from downloading the fix-to-the-fix, the disruption would be massive.

argh it got snipped..

ok now u got the info :)

m$ is bull!
