It took them a whole week to release a patch! And that was unusual as Microsoft doesn't really like to release out-of-cycle patches, they have a timetable they like to keep to.
If you don't know what you are talking about PROLIANT please keep it to yourself.
There's about 250 different versions of patches that require thorough testing before they're deployed. The timetable, aka Patch Tuesday, is a schedule that anyone involved in IT is thankful for because issuing patches to workstations always presents a possibility of instability, and if you've been involved with deploying patches in a corporate environment you'll realise that the deployment needs to be carefully planned to minimise any downtime to your users.0 -
You are not familiar with Latin then?Is that Viruses you meant try finishing your words before sprouting such cr*p.
Linux's security makes it almost impossible for a virus to run let alone do what they do to windozzzze.
Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
I'm not tecnical by any means but it seems fast and nice to use. Also if people say Firefox is safer because less pople use it then maybe Chrome could be classed as safer still?0

What utter folly. All it takes, the same as on Vista and OS X, is for the user to approve the request and away it goes. Typically, the userbase of Linux is more computer savvy than your average PC user and is less tempted to install things randomly from the internet.
Edit; Unless you're a "Power User" and you've disabled UAC.0 -

Its true that the bigger ones will be attacked more. But that does NOT mean google is 'safer' For all we know there could be a ton of security risks using it.
Hell, if i were a sad hacker, id have WELL attacked chrome when it first came out as loads of people were 'jumping on the bandwagon' to try it out:idea:0
