The Geek's Classroom

I don't know if this will make my blog more fun and interesting, but I thought I'd give it a try!  Don't expect that this will totally revive the blog, but it may.  We shall see!

In 2002 and 2003, Microsoft released their most recent versions of Windows and Office. Since then, the Reseach and Development team has basically started from the ground up and spent a great majority of their time researching how their software and operating system are actually used and not just how Microsoft thinks their product should be used. They have taken this research and greatly improved on the most used functions and made improvement on ease of use in these specific areas.

No wonder solitaire now ROCKS!

Why does everybody focus on Windows when they write viruses? I have a couple theories.

• Writing a virus for open source is too easy - there's no challenge in finding vulnerabilities. Instead of writing viruses, people use Linux's vulnerabilities to do direct assults on other machines.
• If a person writes a good virus for Windows, it can cripple entire enterprises, businesses and government agencies. Writing a virus for OS X might affect 10 people. Of course it also has the potential of collapsing elementary education, but that's about it.
