MS Bob 11 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 We all know you love XP, but it's time to take off those XP-colored glasses, even the most hardened Windows users will tell you that XP was a security nightmare, and in some ways, still is. Classic FUD you are trying to spread here. XP was insecure before Service Pack 2. After SP2, it's secure enough. Vista/7 is certainly more secure, no doubt about that, ASLR, UAC, UIPI, outgoing firewall, and many more enhancements but for folks who're know their stuff and are aware of what they're doing XP is secure enough. We all know you love <insert latest Windows OS here>, but it's time to take off those <latest OS>-colored glasses. simplezz 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfrog Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Wrong place to ask the question. The fanboys will tell you unbelievable stories. :p Coming from someone named XPClient. The irony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP2 was far from "enough", if I recall correctly, XP stil suffered greatly even after SP2 was released. Conficker comes to mind. In this da and age, "secure" enough", just isn't "good enough".
