If you follow along on the IT Tech blogs as closely as I do, you occasionally come away with a headache or a serious case of multiple personality disorder. I spend several hours a day pouring over the technorati with my trusty Bloglines to cull the best highlights of the day and attempt to divine technology trends. Also, as the name of this blog indicates, I advocate Linux for IT professionals. In my many years of taking in stride the vicissitudes of life, I have succeeded in keeping myself somewhat grounded with a mental reminder, when needed, from Alfred E. Neuman: "WHAT - ME WORRY?" Take a deep breath and follow along with my thought process, Ad-lib, if you will.
Microsoft Vista
Protaganist: It's great.
Antagonist: No it's not.
Zealot: Yes it is and you are an idiot. You are wood pulp.
Jack Nicholson: You can't handle the truth!
Mike Cox: "My rep says...." (I definitely need more Mike Cox)
Ballmer: "We're not going to have products that are much more successful than Vista has been." (Is he in denial?)
Fact is, you can still get infected in five minutes with a very nice Fast-flux botnet with or without Anti-Virus Anti-Malware protection.
What to do? Switch to Linux.
What - me worry? No. Not one bit.
