Ok, you mention, appllication error - ok, if its an application error, or seems to be -- so what, whats the application written in? A tool written by microsoft. So, you see its still a POS application, written with POS tools, running on a POS OS. So the application got stomped by a bad driver, or a worm, or a virus, or maybe directx or aspx is having a bad day.

You prove my point. The PLATFORM is a POS.

I love you too!

Hi, you don't know what the f. you're prattling on about. No, seriously, you don't. Don't argue it, don't question it, don't even bother trying to deny it. Do you even write software?

Remind me again why gdb even exists on Linux if applications are written completely, utterly perfectly the first time around? There'd be no need for a debugger tool because of obviously superior development environments like vi, right? How is it that just about every single point release of PHP has bug-fixes that correct segmentation faults that occur regardless of what platform it runs on? Heck, they fixed one bug in PHP 5.1.2 (the newest version) where you could crash Apache if you passed a timestamp into the date() command. That's all you had to do to bring it down!

TORONTO—Microsoft is delaying by a full year two of its four software patching/upgrade systems, company officials told those attending the worldwide partner conference here.

...

Mike Nash, the head of Microsoft's security business and technology unit, delivered the delay news to partners on Monday, the third day of the four-day partner conference. Nash said that WUS and MU both have dependencies on Windows Update, another of Microsoft's patching systems. Windows Update Version 5, the most recent release of that product, is due to go live simultaneously with Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Okay, look. This update to SUS has been promised for a very long time already, with great fanfare and ZERO product to show for it. And now it's being delayed for ANOTHER FULL YEAR?

Mike Nash, whoever you are, quit your job. You're a *ing disgrace to Microsoft. The amount of ill-will that this new delay will create in the admin community simply cannot be overstated, and is all at once intolerable, inexcusable, and unjustifiable. If Microsoft were really, truly committed to getting good security tools into our hands, this product would be done by now, or at least in public beta along with all the other next-generation MS security products (ISA 2004 Beta 2 and XP SP2).
