... another patch Tuesday. Sounds scary but it'll pass as every other.

Scary will be Exploit Wednesday ;)

I like my idea of sandbox computing, where non-operating system applications and code are run in a sandbox (virtual OS), such that vulnerabilities cannot affect the kernel. The days of allowing programs complete & exclusive access to hardware (or filesystems) must surely be threatened, given that when I do, I spend half my life worrying about being riddled by malcode.

Anyway, there is no such thing as real user loyalty in computing. The OS that delivers the best, most secure exzperience will get my business. Mac(donalds) and Windose are both mass market rubbish. The sooner I can have my computer write it's own operating system the better.
