Can we sue Microsoft now? Two days ago they forced a download on me that killed my access to the Great Big InterWeb. For TWO FREAKIN' DAYS I was trying to fix the damn thing, wondering if my wireless card had gone belly up or if I had inadvertently deleted important Great Big InterWeb access files. Through a fluke I changed a setting on my firewall and suddenly I had access again. Turns out that Microsoft's latest "security" update screwed up my firewall. So I went and deleted the "security" file and now I have access again.
TWO DAYS!! And if I hadn't (out of sheer frustration) started playing with my firewall settings I still wouldn't know what the [bleep] was wrong. Wow is that grossly negligent and just a shitty thing to do on their part.
And not one word about Apple from anyone, 'cause guess what? They're also a giant corporation out to make a buck anyway they can (DRM and iTunes, anyone?).
Jinkies.

Nice. Now they're going to start pushing SP3 involuntarily. You have to download a blocking kit to delay it. I don't know if they've fixed this yet, but SP3 shanks AMD machines. Nuthin' but restarts. And don't get me started on Vista or Office 2007.
The Microsoft, The (translate to German).
Damn! I wonder if that was what was wrong with our system. We couldn't sign onto the web a few days back. We thought it was our ZoneAlarm firewall and Norton antivirus not playing well together so we removed them both and changed to McAfee which seemed to fix the problem.

Yep, that was the problem. Makes me wonder what Microsoft has against Zonealarm.
