SOFTWARE AND hardware and networking and console firm Microsoft seems to have issued the wrong release of Windows Vista Business & Enterprise Editions to its Volume Licence Customers. From the original release earlier this month, there were problems that arose with the install DVD as well as the installed versions of Vista. A note on the web site said: "Reinstall Required: If you downloaded Windows Vista Business 32 Bit in English before November 22, 2006, please download and reinstall the updated version. We apologize for any inconvenience.."

With this kind of errors, it's doubtable they'll remain hacker-free XD

 

[Niko-Time]

No, it can't be :O

How does this relate to it security? Its a error with marketing.This really cant be held against them for the operating itself.

 

[Modki]

So? I mean they fixed the problem right? Besides, it's the business version. IT just sits around and plays quake if they don't have anything to do.

I have to agree, you can't jump to the conclusion that the software is going to suck because someone in the distribution area screwed up. With the amount of stuff that company has to deal with, things like that is bound to happen.

 

[lightsource]

Yep. This has nothing to do w/ the software itself. HOWEVER, in response to TheShanigan whether you have good software or not, microsoft has never NOT gotten hacked. So it's nothing new if they do. I'm sure illegal gold's are running around some private torrent sites as we speak.

 

[TheShehanigan]

Yes, but the software has probably been distributed already, perhaps illegally in multiple versions. Thus hacks must be running around and already ready to exploit it's weaknesses. The fact they screwed up on distribution means nothing regarding software, however my comment was just merely a mockery of how M$ said Windows Vista would remain hack-free and would be THE uncrackable, unhackable OS.

My comment was but that, a mockery to the earlier comments on Vista. Completely unrelated, but attempting to strike the point human error and misprogramming will contribute to the hackability of the OS. After all, if the distrubution gets messed up, so can the OS programmers.

Of course there are lol. Always is.

 

[killnine]

Does this business version contain Dx10? If so, why was there no hubbub about it being released?

 

[l V l]

This world is coming to an end haha.

 

[Waupli]

Nothing as widely used as Windows will remain unhacked or cracked. If enough people want to do something, they'll find a way.

 

[Higgins]

i think its just they just changed it so you cant the replace certain files and crack it, probably their way of patching it before its out...

 

[Dock #89]

Another diss to Microsoft, I smell some envy!

HAHAHA!!!
I thought this was another complaint about the software, like "M$ sux, BOO! go linux ftw!!!"

 

[Fishie36]

I don't even see what's wrong. So they fixed a problem, great for them.
