Dr. M, once again it shows just how stoopid mr.softy has become and smart Steve Gibson is...steve is like the ralph nader of 'net security and other complex box issues...but smarter...wish Billy's House of Bugs would hire him.

Thanks for the head's up on the article.


ps...only caveat is that I believe steve is referring to the consumer home version of xp; not the professional corp version.

Steve Gibson is a fool... he may be right on the money on this one... but he's still a paranoid fool ready to proclaim he's everyone savior by creating an over zealous view of how bad it really isn't.

As for M$'s defences of XP's network security I propose this;

Nies's Law:

The effort expended by the bureaucracy in defending any error is in direct proportion to the size of the error.
