I can kind of see MS getting hacked - I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, but MS being plundered for 2 months?


Edit: Doesn't seem to have hurt them too much...

"In afternoon Nasdaq trading Friday, shares of Microsoft were up $3.88 at $68.31."

When they backtracked the sourse they ended up in Russia. Where is the Linux Headquarters anyways?

I hope no one here replied to a query on "How Do I Crack Microsoft" and gave the answer! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Cheers!

I refuse to believe that a u/soft window OS could have a problem with insecurity! They cant blame the software like other businesses when you ring them up and they say they have problems or are not on time - can they? Maybe they always blame the hardware.
Oh well, any publicity is good publicity right? Hey I'm joking ok, I'm sure I will be paying for this screw up over the next half dozen upgrades.
