RE: [PCTECH] Beware of XP SP2 !

["Chuck Lewis" <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, I don't disagree with that and it was of course bound to happen, but
what a mess.

And I've seen in some "other groups" that even this isn't going to fix much.
What I was words to the affect "with the scripting in Windows, used by MS to
do all kinds of things there it is still wide open"...

Any comment on that ? I am not all that familiar with it.

Thanks :-)

Chuck

So...after everybody has been bashing Microsoft about security, now that
they are attacking it head on they will get bashed because now people have
to turn keys to go thru a door?

Pretty tough to have it both ways.  Perfect Security with wide open access.
In fact, if there where fewer words in that I'd call it an Oxymoron.

JMHO,
Bob

PS: Yes, SP2 will be a pain for all of.
