Antivirus firm Intego today reported that it has discovered a new variant of the "MACDefender" malware that ups the ante by not requiring an administrator password for installation. The step is accomplished by installing the application only for the current user.
People in the third world have bigger worries and why should google be able to digitise something that somebody owns and clearly does not to assimilated?
> With Windows you're stuck with the default state Microsoft ship Windows with <
You are no stuck with it any more you are stuck with it linux, its that sort or crappy thought train that leads to systems being easy to comprimise\attack.
Itunes is a monopoly but there is nothing illegal about apple having a monopoly, for instance apple controls %80 of the the UK digital music market but its not breaking any laws.
I think you are telling porkies about 50% of your imaginary poll, bit like the 20% of people using macs figure you made up - mac has nearly 5% market share
Opera are moaners, they got what they wanted and they are still moaning.. I dont think any one is feeling sorry for MS they are just sick of Opera actng like a baby.
So when User B, who has no admin rights clicks on itunes, how is iTunes, which *should* be running with the privileges of User B, able to make kernel/system changes to a level that requires a complete system reboot?
The windows installer service would not let this happen unless something has been authored in to the package - if that was the case user b would be prompted to elevate access and would need to enter an admin account and password.
The point you are missing is the devs are writing applications and packages that are doing this by ignoring guidelines\best pracises - in this case apple if what you said is really happening...
The windows installer service will not let a standard user install any packages, you must have installed the package with elevated rights.. when the next user logs and launches the app any parts of the application that are not in that users profile are then added... as I said itunes is a crappy installer that must have a reboot authored into the package by apple, not MS.
Take a look at the application log even you should be able to work out what is going on..
6) Itunes does the "Running itunes for the first time" thing, thrashes about a bit and then declares "The system must be rebooted"
You are clueless.. How can you blame the way apple have authored their crappy installation package that tries to sneak on AppleSoftwareUpdate, Bonjour, MobileMe, QuickTime on Microsoft?
Try saying that about any Microsoft server product.
"Firefox is NOT tied to Ubuntu. I have an Ubuntu install with NO browser on it at all because it doesn't need one. Try saying that about any Microsoft server product"
How many business\corporate users are going to try wine when they state that "Wine is still under development, and it is not yet suitable for general use"
It is a package manager - it may not wander offline and get packages but msiexec.exe manages installation\upgrade\removal of msi packages down to the component level..
If the browser vendors supplied validated MSI's to MSI they would get installed something like:
Who ever decided to deliver windows updates via the web should be sacked - it would seem a lot of people dont know how to manage or harden windows - including some of the comments above.
I thought the 10% was growth and not installed base and the figure is only for devices that have accessed any of Net Applications clients who log this information.
There are probably millions of windows boxes that have never been seen by Net Applications, only Apple and Microsoft know the real numbers..
"Wine is still under development, and it is not yet suitable for general use."

The article said training was included with the price of blackhawks and spares.
They will need training anyway on the refurbed engines\avionics on the Puma (cost not included)
Wouldn't the MOD deploy them to a unit that arent on operations.

Exchange 2007 SP2 was released a few weeks ago but the policy in question were introduced in SP1 nearly 2 years ago.
@DZ-Jay A recent patch?
Exchange SP1 was released in November 2007 nearly 2 years ago.
Apple new what affect the 3.1 patch would have but did not pre-warn exchange admins, think its funny you are trying to spin the blame on to MS.

Itunes Profit/Monopoly

GoatJam - It cannot reboot the system
In interactive mode it can merly prompt a user that one is required - or log an event that one is needed but do nothing else.
It cannot decide to reboot the system - even with elevated rights.
@GoatJam
Indeed, that would be User A
So when User B, who has no admin rights clicks on itunes, how is iTunes, which *should* be running with the privileges of User B, able to make kernel/system changes to a level that requires a complete system reboot?

Damage already done..
If the script\exe has run then the damage is already done..
package manager
It is a package manager - it may not wander offline and get packages but msiexec.exe manages installation\upgrade\removal of msi packages down to the component level..
If the browser vendors supplied validated MSI's to MSI they would get installed something like:
msiexec /i firefox_3.0.5.msi /qb!
This would be so simple if Windows just came with a package manager
It does - msiexec.exe
