Microsoft warns of 64-bit Windows 7 hole

[robinbredin]

Oh noez. A minor hole that no one is exploiting and MS is already fixing!

Got to love people who "" at every single flaw that windows ever throws up. Linux and OS X have far more, its just that they aren't in the same spotlight.

Pathetic digs like this just highlight the backwards mindset of the people who think in this way.

Oh noez now look what you've done, you're gonna get beaten up by a load of Linux fans now.

I best turn off my modem otherwise all my computers will be hackerz .

Name some for OSX that haven't already been fixed by Apple.

Lets not bother seeing as it's the Windows section of the forums

Okay. I'll just pop over to the Apple sub forum and make some wild claims about non existent security issues.

*Leaves thread*

Where is your information to back up your claims about the non existent security issues in apple?

If you can't prove that then you can't claim silly things.

Agreed, now lets stop this childish PC v Apple stuff or at least have a week without it

Agreed, some people just like to moan about Windows cause its the "cool" thing to do.

I'm surprised the OP didn't spell Microsoft as 'Micro$oft'

Like the comments, everyone seems so concerned...

64bit hole? wow. it must be wide & big!
...

thats what she said

Hang on a sec, every OS has unfixed security issues at ay one time, either because they've been found very recently or because of other developmental reasons. So assuming there is a widely used OS out there (I'm including Linux but excluding niche OSs like ZOS) without a current security vulnerability is ludicrous.

What an absolutely bizarre comment to make

Thats just my sense of humour, I like having an dig at M/S.

64bit hole? wow. it must be wide & big!

It's so big that "We are not aware of attacks that try to use the reported vulnerability or of customer impact at this time."

Not that big then.

Who said it?

You mean M/$, surely?

The cool cats call them Micro$haft! Or another word beginning "sh"... sorry "$h".
