Windows has vulnerabilities?! ;-)

 

[mycpumelted]

Only 25 vulnerabilities, that seems like an improvement.

 

[sliem]

It's not vulnerabilities, it's "exploitable weaknesses that stupid hackers found... why couldn't they just leave us alone?!"

I know everyone likes to make fun of Windows, but isn't this about Internet Explorer, and primarily 6 and 7?

Shouldn't the comparisons be to Safari, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, etc?

Stupid hackers (more correctly called crackers or "black hats") would need the Windows source code. Windows is closed source.

Not much of a splash here, just regular patch-up work.

 

[falchard]

Why is this news? Microsoft does this atleast once a month.

 

[qwerty45]

Mac OSX is not worth hacking lol

 

[soundefx]

When is updating a security hole big news?

Just wait till some one gets pissed off at Apple. All your iPhones/iPads/iTouces are belonging to us!

 

[t1t4n1um]

and the other 50 billion bugs and vulnerabilities?

 

[JohnnyLucky]

It just keeps happening over and over. I don't think there will ever be an end in sight.

 

[Regulas]

And since MS has their browser directly tied to kernel is one of the reasons Windows is such a Swiss Cheese OS.

How many people actually get impacted by this stuff? If you don't surf porn, warez or download cracked software does it really matter? I don't worry about CNN or Tom's hacking my computer.

I've never had a virus and actually never known any of my friends to get one. It really seems like those that do stupid things with their computers are the ones that end up getting nailed. Sounds fair to me.
