Story: Microsoft OneCare gets a bashing
Posted by: Anonymous (Saturday 14 May 2005, 4:25 AM)
For Microsoft to charge anything for the faulty software should be a crime, all in itself. But to charge for a supposed to be a secure site, that will be the day. And if they do proceed to make people pay for their faulty software and this "OneCare", how many people are going to be switching to Mac and Linux. Should we say good riddens to Microsoft now or shortly after the site is up online?
As their own site they can't even get that right, most of the problems come from their "third party cookies". I don't know if anyone has noticed this but if you turn off your third party cookies, you can not get any product updates, is this a flaw or is Microsoft promoting viruses and spyware?
But for me, I switched to Linux a secure operating system and it really is less expensive than holey Winblows. I won't ever go back to Microsoft garbage.
Microsoft should take their entire line of operating systems off the market and either fix it, or just not produce it. Or better yet, why not release your code, so someone else can fix it for you, since you won't.
