    I saw the update yesterday and had to kind of wonder when all it said was "repaired a securty flaw." I figured it was something fairly big :lol:
    I'm wondering when they'll realize that on a common install the "Remote Registry" service is enabled... :rolleyes:

    I wonder how long they waited after learning about the flaw to tell the public just so they could get that $90mil contract...

    Yeah, I mean I wonder how long ago they learned of it. How long they held off telling the public. And how much damage had/could have been done because they neglected to tell the public because they wanted their $90mil contract...

    I don't bother with any Windows updates.

    I'm not really worried about getting hacked. I doubt I'll get hacked. If I do, it'll be by one of my mates, and I've not got anything of any great importance on my computer anyway.
