Hi!

A truck drove up and delivered my copy of Windows ME from Buy.com at 10:30 am on the release date !

3 cheers for Buy.com !

[ Yes, not a DVD, but definitely an Online Store issue, and WinME was undoubtedly pre-ordered by many DVDtalkers. Please, no "MS sucks!" messages, though - that would be way off-topic - thanks. ]

AFAIK, there is a new "vulnerability" issue every week or two.

And, since the same vulnerability exists in Win98 SE, CNET is sort of off-base with this.

The CD-ROM's label covers the entire disk with a hologram, so any remotely normal looking CD is a pirated copy, btw.

"Hi - we're Microsuck - we release beta version software as retail to stupid consumers. We tell them it is better and they buy it. HAHAHA. Then when they call in they pay us 30 dollars a call to do work for us by giving us bug reports so we know what problems need fixing. Then we only fix a few problems so we can keep charging them money. HAHAHA. We also make other software companies change their software so that it works with ours instead of just making sure our software works with theirs in the first place. HAHAHA. 'Here, john Q public, here's a new crappy operating system for you to put on your computer and rely on to protect your precious data.' HAHAHA. We hope you like the new security features... HAHAHA... Because we know how important it is to have tight network security now since more and more people are using cable and DSL now... HAHAHA. One out of every 400 Windows ME boxes has been farted in by this guy in our packaging plant... HAHAHA."
