    So I guess no alarms for everyone to use Ilfak Guilfanov’s patch? And no dissing Microsoft for allowing a gap? Or the seemingly (allegedly) conflict of interest per OneCare?

    Would it help if Gay Rights were being violated? Or if religious literature was being distributed? Or if some lock company wasn’t responding to bloggers demands? Or if some site didn’t use RSS?

    Noticing a theme here, come out strong when news is still hazy (China, WMF), then retreat into a blank zone, pointing to others that parrot the party line, and then move onto some other crisis of the moment, hoping everyone will forget, And then when all the dust settles can point back to the ‘hot zone post’ and claim credit for it all. I guess nothing knew, Microsoft managers are quite infamous for taking credit for other people’s work (even internally).

    Flame up, wimp out, move on, blog on, come back and take credit if it goes your way, if not well use the boilerplate excuse of “all the more reason for me to be here.”

    Snarky and cynical? Yup. :)

    This is just another reason why I won’t be using my Windows XP computer anymore and sticking with my PowerBook for everything. I finally pulled the power-cord from the wall and disconnected the keyboard and mouse. I’m lucky my IT department has allowed me to install Firefox, which will help protect me from this security problem. I can’t wait until the MacIntel computers are released! Viva la Mac!
