- Go to Microsoft: Buy new Windows & online security will be improved dramatically
Amazing!
This has got to be the absolutely stupidest thing that anybody at Microsoft has ever said! Their security policy is the worst of any of the operating systems out there. The Home edition of Microsoft XP is notorious for its problems.
Check out these locations for indepth technical discussions on problems with Windows XP: http://grc.com/xpdite/xpdite.htm and http://grc.com/dos/intro.htm and http://grc.com/dos/winxp.htm. The last of these details a major design flaw with Windows XP Home's support for sockets that is just waiting to be exploited.
Yes, I use Windows. Yes, it has its good and its bad points. Yes, I am not likely to stop using it inspite of the above flaws. But for anyone to claim that it is the safest OS around is just ludicrous.
