Microsoft finally to take security serious?
Category: General
Although I usually don't use Windows much, I couldn't help noticing that the new XP Service Pack 2 contains alot of security enhancements. Some of them even seem to break current software.
I must say that I am pleased to hear this. Although I realize it will take a while before all problems have been worked out, and everyone has upgraded. Wait, on second thought, that won't happen for a while since people are quite bad at doing upgrades :-(.
But, my point is, that this really might tigthen the general security on the Internet. I'm not thinking so much on the concrete service pack, but more the fact that Microsoft pushes out patches that prioriotizes security over compatibility.
Good job, but I'll still stick to Linux :-)
