10/15/2003 Entry: "Fucking Microsoft"

"SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday announced five new "critical" flaws in its software and provided patches to stop hackers accessing computers through a malicious program similar to the devastating Blaster worm.

"The announcement, part of an initiative to notify computer users of patches on a more regular basis, applies to a wide range of Microsoft software.

"Stephen Toulouse, a security program manager, urged companies and individuals using the products to apply the patches in order to correct flaws in the software.

"The software, detailed on the Web site http://www.microsoft.com/security, includes Microsoft's Exchange e-mail server, Windows operating system, Windows Messenger service and multimedia software for Web browsers."

Here's the update: Grrrrr.

I mean, if you must be a monopoly, at least be a more efficient one.

Edit: Hm, Windows ME is not affected. Lucky me, I think.
