Look for Sunbelt to be in court spending all their money until they are bankrupt or see them in a month or so being bought put by Microsoft.
And for Microsoft to say that Sunbelt is "stretching the truth", isn't that kind of of an irony?? Seems Microsoft does the exact same thing with all their frivolous patents. |

Microsoft has already said that they'd provide definition updates to Sunbelt for the remainder of the contract term, but apparently that's not good enough for them. They're just being greedy, and attempting to cash in on this publicity.

Wasn't this covered pretty heavily in the security forum and a certain blog post? The forum thread would be worth having a look at in this regard. |

Lol! One of "those virus writers?". "Easy for worms to sneak in?" I think you're "one of those" people who needs a license to use the internet.
Back to the subject of this thread...
I totally agree with Jeremy. Sunbelt is just going for a payday on the wings of some publicity or a judge that's about as informed as alien9999999. Leave it to some idiot company to try to ruin something that could be good. I was anxious to see what came of this great tool after Microsoft got hold of it. Now I guess I'll have forgotten about it by the time the courts finish dragging their asses on it. |

If M$ has it's fine cast of programmers involved with coding.. can we actually trust the code to work for our benefit or will it be more likely to be bug riddled that exposes us to more problems than we already have? |

Hardly... They are simply attempting to protect their intellectual property rights... They've already invested quite a bit in to this project and apparently are making money off of it. If that's the case, you can't blame them for trying to protect that investment.
Now, where I have heard that come from before?...

Re: But the REAL Question is...
Tell you what... it's snot my job to create a perfect XP.... I didn't create it,and I have no involvement with its archeicutre, design, implementation or testing.. I only get the final products. I know there's no such thing as "Perfect Code", but this just looks to be another opportunity for us (the end user) to get another series of attacks on our systems, that we may not have any opportunity to stop. I admit, I have written tons of code, and my code has, on occasion, had some errors, but once I fix them they don't open exposures in other systems components. I have written tons of "System Level code", it takes forsight and experience... something you don't get fresh out of school... |
