[Am-info] Microsoft plans Windows overhaul to fight hackers.

[John J. Urbaniak]

So Microsoft will be late with "Longhorn" which means no big revenue spurt
until 2006.  So now they're going to release an update to XP?

Bogus!

All they want to do is get more revenue with a "new version" of XP,  when
instead they should be fixing the bugs for free.

It's so transparent.  No other company can put out such defective products
and make the customers/users pay for the fixes.

How stupid are Microsoft customers that they will fall for this?

How stupid are the PC reporters that they will fall for it once again?
