re: Another alternative? (was:...XP...) Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 8:53 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Arminius (334 messages posted) |In a similar move which has been widely reported due to its callousness, |M$ has ALREADY decided to stop patching Win2000 |(most of a year before its stated EoS). |from the Usenet Archive -- Terry Porter I think this is the vunerability Porter was refering to: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS09-048.mspx To say that Win2000 ought to be junked because of this one vulnerability is an overreaction. They aren't fixing the problem in XP either. Terry Porter didn't even bother to provide a link or reference to the actual Microsoft security bulletin. Doesn't he want people to read what Microsoft has to say or is that what Porter calls reporting? My guess is Porter didn't read the security bulletin himself, he just quoted someone else. Microsoft recommends using a firewall, something users ought to be doing anyway. Written in response to: Another alternative? (was:...XP...)
