pcmag.com — Microsoft seems to be caught in its own conflict of interest web by offering protection for its own operating system instead of just fixing the code. Will it be done, or can Microsoft just admit that its OS can't guarantee security? Find out what John C. Dvorak has to say in his no-holds bar column.

No-holds barred?That's code for he doesnt think before he writes.But he is entertaining on TWIT because he is the ONLY one who will have a different opinion than the others in the circle jerk and right or wrong, he sticks to his beliefs and makes it interesting.

Am I the only one who saw a conflict of interest and all the given implications as soon as Microsoft acquired an anti-virus/spyware company?Hurray for Dvorak's article of the obvious.

Oh good another Dvorak article, like another commenter said above, he just runs his mouth every month or so on some issue which is really a non-issue. Let's point out the obvious here, I fail to see the conflict of interest, it's a different product, but yeah Microsoft is evil and is going to start charging for service pack like someone else suggested. wow.

"'The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a 'mouse'. There is no evidence that people want to use these things.' - San Francisco Examiner, Feb. 1984"How true. The Mac used a mouse and Gates forced it on the industry. I hate using a mouse and have learned virtually every shortcut key there is to know.

I have decided that I am going to be evil from now on. I'm going to kick puppies. I'm going to see how far I can throw kittens. I might even kill a hobo just for fun. Then...six months from now...I'm going to post this article again just to infuriate those digg users who can't bare to see something more than once. MUHAHAHAHA!

Dugg - Dvorak rules OK!This is more of the typical BS that comes out of Microsoft. It's like a power company selling insurance to the people in the towns downstream of its dams in case the dam fails - doesn't exactly fill you with a great deal of confidence does it!

"Vista has been reprogrammed from the ground up"They said that about Windows 2000 and XP. From the gound up to them means, knocking all the building blocks down and putting them back together. No fixing the bug-ridden blocks or blocks with security holes in them.
