[Dar es Salaam, Tanzania]
BLOODY hell! When is this Windows nightmare going to end? I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. If Microsoft was a foreign (most notably Japanese or French) company – and not American – the world would’ve ditched their operating system a “loooong” time ago. Seriously. It’s just that most of the business world seems to revolve around the English language media where Microsoft is a big advertiser. But do you people know the untold billions of dollars in lost productivity this one company has caused the world? It’s mind boggling. Take a peek at what’s bugs are cooking:
In particular it warned about one bug fixed in the latest batch of security updates that, if exploited, could put a PC under the control of an attacker. Microsoft’s recent update fixed 23 flaws found in Windows software.
Many of these bugs are known to malicious hackers and some are
already actively exploited on the net. {source}
Moreover, I’m shocked that the majority of naive computer users still put up with this frigging crappy software. And don’t get me started with those Outlook/Outlook Express users. Argggh, I’m sick of it! Heck, Mac OS/X with its rock-solid BSD/Unix foundation (think super strong security) is looking better and better every day.
Seeing is believing
In fact, my good pal Eric (aka HASH, aka White African) dropped by Nairobi a while back from his Florida residence to take part in an Rift Valley Academy class reunion. When I saw his swanky, ultra sleek Mac Notebook, my mouth began to droll. I knew then and there that, some day, me and a Mac Notebook were going to be bed mates. 
Once that happens, I’ll be free of worrying about all these horrible bugs that are hanging out in Windows.
