Comment Re:WinCE when you say that (Score -1, Troll) 229

I call bullshit. We didn't even get to see the demonstration itself. It's entirely possible that the no OS could prevent the style of intrusion that was going to be demonstrated. But, you get get extra Microsoft bashing points just for pointing out the host OS used, whether or not it was part of the problem.

I didn't. My first computer was a 8-bit machine.

Yeah, no shit? Gee, so was mine. But the parent was suggesting that a majority of people, which excludes the likes of you and me, had their first computer experience using a PC. Just another self-centered prick, always wanting to stick his dick in the equation.

Good old Glyn. No doubt a favorite of Kdawson and many Slashdot folk. This is the same guy that idolized Stallman by using an analogy of a man who passes out a never ending supply of bread and then claimed ignorance when I showed this was a rip off of Jesus Feeding the multitude. A real class act to be sure.

I asserted, as I do here, that zealots like Glyn who treat Foss as if it were a religion are a problem that is not discussed often enough, and is the reason articles like this should be viewed with a skeptical eye that is careful to notice the true motivations of the author.

The default user configuration on Windows in a home environment is that any user has administrative rights...

That was the default, but since Vista that has no longer been the case. It's also incorrect to assume that users won't elevate privileges on any system to install software they think is legitimate or useful to them.
