Is it me, or all these critical updates getting a bit redundant? I know htat hackers and script kiddies love to mess with Big Brother, but 'cmon I have to use 2k on a daily basis and it seems like every week, there's some other hole they've found....
Ohhh, come on!
Open source software gets even more frequent fixes all the time! It's just that MS didn't do it in the past, and now that they finally woke up that they need to fix their sw, just like everyone else.
It's a Good Thing that these things happen. Very often when I run apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade on my Debian box, I get several security-updated packages.. Perl, Apache, etc. Very common software.
It's just that they're putting lots of positive spin on it.. Anyone remember Bill Gates' big announcement that MS will make bug fixing it's utmost priority?
All software is faulty. Some is less faulty than others, or runs on a platform that isn't tempting to hackers (something too obscure, like say an Amiga ;-)
Subscribe to bugtraq and see.. It isn't just Windows where they're finding those dastardly root holes.
