Is it just me, or do other people immediately not trust any article where the headline is gramatically mangled? Perhaps it's because the majority of spam I receive is full of bad grammar, mis-spellings etc? Posted by: Alan Fisher on January 15, 2003 04:26 AM
No, it's not just you. If they can't take the time to get the headline right I don't trust the rest of the article either. Posted by: Boyink on January 15, 2003 10:08 AM
The headline didn't put me off. The depressing thing is that if you follow the article's recommendations you spend as much time loading & applying patches as you do using the computer. There so many patches, for so many apps, Microsoft's site is a nightmare - slow, hard to navigate because it's priority is to promote upgrades, dependent on Javascript which sometimes contains errors especially if you aren't using the latest IE. Unfortunately MS has little incentive to fix this for existing products but might do so for its next OS in order to sell it. Posted by: Philip Chalmers on January 16, 2003 06:54 AM
