Microsoft security

Sheesh!

It is of course a well-known fact that Microsoft cares a great deal about security. I mean, there are so very few bugs in Internet Explorer, Windows is renowned for its stability, Microsoft always realeses security updates and patches (for the few bugs that might perhaps sometimes occur) very quickly. It’s just… perfect!

But just as the “solution” to an earlier problem, I wrote about, they have again come up with a great idea: they will give the standard user in Longhorn more rights, in the hope that people will less often log in as Administrator.

Oookay… so you give the users more rights, so that they will have less rights… But at least, even normal users will now have enough rights to f*ck up the system!

Oh well, as if Microsoft ever really got an idea about user rights and permissions.

I mean, “registry” — need I say more? OK, how about “Windows\System” directory?
