I wish they removed totally idiotic and braindead restriction on Windows Media Player where you can't share your media library if you have just one public network on your PC. This is ridiculous. I have a private network on my PC and a public network too, and Windows Media Player is so unbelievably stupid that it tells me "no, you can't share your media library at all, not even to your private network".

Could someone explain to me why it is so dumb? Is there some serious technical reason for that? I thought I could share my library easily just for my private network(s) because it totally logical and intuitive, but as it's often the case with MS "intuitive and logical" equals "not implemented in Windows". So sad.

This new SP2 thing is not going to solve that, alas, and there's no way to talk to someone from MS about it. Too bad. Only thing that's soothing is that Apple is even worse - I tried to contact them multiple times about bugs in Quicktime and never got even an acknowledgement that they rceived my messages. Looks like all commercial OSes are like that.

Now with more plugs for your Vista security holes! The tarnished brand of Vista gets a patch. Woopeee!

Roberstjoe:

How many patches for Leopard has Apple released to date again?

@SandmanX82: Nowhere near as many as Microsoft for Windows. If you leave Windows unused for a week or two, there is always a boatload of security patches waiting for you. Shows you how bad the OS is.

@robertsjoe - please provide documented proof that the Vista name is tarnished. Also, please provide a list comparing the Vista security holes(both patched and unpatched) to the OS X security holes(again, patched and unpatched) Maybe then, somebody here will take you seriously. Can you do it?

Back that statement up with documented proof, or continue to be thought of as the zit faced teenager in the basement on daddy's iMac.

Vista tarnished? You don't read newspapers? Read blogs? It's all over the place. Why do you think Microsoft spends $1.2 billion in advertising? A lot of it to improve the tarnished brand that is Vista.

You man that the numerous security patches that keep coming up in Windows are not really plugging holes? Maybe it's just secret updates to Solitaire, disguised as Windows Security patches?

Go update your anti-virus software, make sure it's all up to date so you don't get infected with something leaking through the Windows sieve.

@robertsjoe - Your ramblings are not documented proof. You should know that I have multiple PC's in my home, 2 of which are Macs running AV software and receiving patches on a regular basis. I also support multiple Operating Systems on a regular basis..try again. So, is Apple spending thier advertising budget to spread FUD? It is, right??? Since I typed it here, that makes it a fact...oh, wait, that is in your mindset, which I obviously don't share. You and mikegalos are exactly the same...enjoy that.

Tayme,

I try my best not to respond to Robertsjoe too...but at times...it is like watching a train wreck, you just can't help yourself.  I've replied to him too and I shouldn't. It just gives him more stupidity.  When we reply to him, it's not just feeding the troll, but feeding his stupidity.  Maybe when he grows up, enrolls in college, moves out of his parent's basement he'll understand.

@Delmont - I know, I know...I just can't stand idiocy!!! Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, we both have a thing with the truth! :-)

I hate to feed the troll, but I call up the always reliable Secunia for a breakdown of vulnerabilities and patches for an OS.  This is not meant to call out similarities in that much detail since the way that they are categorized makes it difficult to compare, and they cover a different time period.  

However, read these links and tell me how one could make any sort of assumption that one OS was innately more secure than another.  You simply can't, making robertsjoe's argument completely wrong.

OS X:  secunia.com/.../96

Vista:  secunia.com/.../13223
