i'm a sys admin by day and my systems include a mix of windows pcs and macs, although its very heavy on the windows side.
anyway, i use a mac for my work and wouldn't trade it for anything, but sometimes i must touch the windows machines and it hurts me. this is because it is always to fix something. hardly ever for upgrades or new software or something useful, but instead i have to update the system that microsoft released as finished product.
this all comes to a head with that whole virus issue a few weeks back. that sucked big time. windows update did NOT pick up that fix in the 2 months it was supposedly out. explain that. i've read a couple of articles that claimed we all had it because we didn't use windows update enough. to hell with that! it runs automagically at the start of the week every week here, plus we have our users run it manually on fridays. regardless, not one of our machines picked it up.
now there is another security flaw (go figure) announced that you can read about here...

another rpc problem? you've got to be kidding me. what was the blast patch for a couple of weeks ago? this is what pisses me off about ms. they never do it right the first time.
if there is one thing my father taught me well, its that if you are going to do it half-assed you may as well not do it at all. apparently billy g's father wasn't that good to him.
