Just fix what you have, Bill | |

| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: SF Gate | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

A year ago this Wednesday, Bill Gates sent a memo to Microsoft's 50, 000 employees identifying "Trustworthy Computing" as the company's highest priority. After spending much of the past week talking to experts (for a news analysis that appeared in Sunday's Chronicle) about what has and hasn't changed in Redmond, Wash., since that famous missive, I have a suggestion for Mr. Gates. Put Longhorn, a major overhaul of Windows that's already at least two years away from release, on hold for a few months and assign the developers involved to a crash program designed to make it easier for users to discover vulnerabilities in their systems and get the appropriate fixes installed without hassle and without jeopardizing their data. | ||

Heh, just to add to #1 & 2,
Can it get much easier than AutoUpdate? Available since Windows ME. These days you'd have to be pretty lazy to not be able to stay up to date. |

| Comically this article is not even about an admin, it's about a journalist. IMO if he is so incompetent that he can't apply security patches or even understand the output of MBSA, he shouldn't be writing technology columns. |

James - I agree!
If you want to see an example of how not to make a user friend application, take a look at the options screens in Outlook. There's so darned many of them, most people don't know what's what. It's not just Outlook... every email package has the same set of bizarro options. |
