why do all MS updates have EXACTLY the same wording, is MS just that boring or have they been re-patching the same whole for the last 5 years

#1.1 bteverybody on 13 Apr 2004 - 20:42

Would you rather they say "Allows the attacker to look through your dirty pictures and rename your MP3s"?

#1.2 Zetter on 13 Apr 2004 - 20:49

All I want is a bit of creativity that will help me disgunish one update from another that isn't a 6 digit number.

and as for my MP3s the naming of them couldn't get much worse

Well, what more *can* be said when an attacker can get complete control?

You may be looking at the computer, but it is *his* computer, not yours. The attacker can do what he wants, just short of throwing it out the window....

#2.1 cooldude7273 on 13 Apr 2004 - 20:44

#2.2 divertom15 on 13 Apr 2004 - 20:46

Does Windows Update even work properly when using a beta service pack?
