The comic was a pretty good read. Not too many people can make a technical press release entertaining. They've got a lot of subtle references in there, and some things that are just plain funny.

All Google's saying is "We're real great! Use our stuff!" I don't see how anyone can hold that against them. It's basically the same renderer for both products, just with a different skin. Originally posted by neotransotaku I don't quite understand how to interperate this. It seems like a negative response, but I don't believe that a Google operating system would bring about the end of the world. |

| Suggest improvements! Look for work-arounds in the mean-time! Remember to...
Hang on... "Chrome does not support this version of Windows" XP Pro with SP1? Not supported? Noooooo thanks, Google. I'm not infecting my computer with SP2 or Vista, thanks. Guess your browser's just too good for me. |

| There are certain things I enjoy about my computer that I am not willing to compromise.
For instance, when I attempt to use it, I don't need Windows looking out for my best interests and asking if I indeed really did mean to run that program. Or browse to that directory. Or use that network connection. Or copy that file from one domain to another. These are things that I intend to do purposefully, and do not appreciate the friendly warnings of how things might conceivably go south where I one of those unfortunate souls who didn't have that message box to pop up in the first place. The Security Center is idiocy incarnate. It not only indicates that you were trying to do something, but flat-out rejects your motion and prevents you from getting it done. To disable these features is to instead bring up a balloon tip as a reminder that your computer is at serious risk because security features are disabled, and that clicking there will re-enable them for you. Thank you, Microsoft, for discouraging the use of my computer. Now I don't feel so bad about using a pirated volume license key to bypass the need for your utterly foolish Product Activation. I cannot count the number of networking problems I've encountered due to the Security Center's supposed safeguards, such as denying ICMP requests like Ping or other such tomfoolery. Wireless networks are becomming more and more common, and I still have specific wishes and uses for them. I am a fan of the unsecured, non-broadcasted wireless network. Sure, someone driving down the road could conceivably detect it and somehow gain access to it without the SSID, but I'm sure I would begin to suspect foul play when there's a guy with a laptop parked out in front of my house for hours on end, so I don't worry about it. So someone comes over with SP2+ or Vista, and wishes to connect to my network. What's that, Windows, you will not display the network in the Wireless Networks control panel despite me giving you the SSID manually? You must prompt that the user does in fact wish to connect to the network--after manually clicking the Connect button--because it is unsecured and therefore theroetically possible to be of some sort of harm to the user's machine? Thank you once again, Microsoft, for inserting yourself between me and those whom I know and trust. "But Guy," you may say, "you can disable those features!" This is true. Alternately, I can save system resources and hard disk usage by not installing them in the first place. In not doing so, I am saving myself from all the disadvantages of having someone looking out for me. So to answer your question, Ykito: yes, SP2 and SP3 are infections. |

(I disabled the whole Security Center too, but true, some parts of it might still be there wasting space)
