Isn't it sad that in order to get "Enhanced" support you have to pay more. Thats almost an insult to overseas labor because they are basically saying that USA support is "Enhanced".....what does that make everyone else?

This is an excellent point. Offshore labor is why I cant understand tech support anymore. I would rather pay a get more for the product to ensure I get good customer support.

Submission + - Adobe Finally Fixes Remote Launch 0-Day (threatpost.com)

Submitted by Trailrunner7 on Tuesday June 29, 2010 @02:30PM

Trailrunner7 writes: Adobe today shipped a critical Reader/Acrobat patch to cover a total of 17 documented vulnerabilities that expose Windows, Mac and UNIX users to malicious hacker attacks. The update, which affects Adobe Reader/Acrobat 9.3.2 (and earlier versions), includes a fix for the outstanding PDF "/Launch" functionality social engineering attack vector that was disclosed by researcher Didier Stevens.

As previously reported, Didier created a proof-of-concept PDF file that executes an embedded executable without exploiting any security vulnerabilities. The PDF hack, when combined with clever social engineering techniques, could potentially allow code execution attacks if a user simply opens a rigged PDF file.

If by flagship you mean Titanic, then yes. It sank very well. Besides even employees of Microsoft are ashamed to use it. And on top of that there biggest reseller (Dell); their CEO wont even use Microsoft. The reason its not on the front page is because why push a product no one likes when you are about to come out with an even bigger disappointment (Windows 7)?

I agree with you there, Ballmer is not the man for the job.
