Okay, *YOU* provide the test results; SHOW 9X users they provide functionality and no new vulnerabilities... give them something to review so they can make an intelligent and informed decision... > [] >> By whom, parties with your apparent intellectual capacity/// hahahaha. >> > Comments like that only serve to diminish what your i. c. looks like > (not to me - I assume you don't care what I think, like you don't > someone watching - I mean to the hypothetical innocent whom you appear > to be trying to protect). You're right I don't care... I said that before... and you two are hardly innocents.. >>> >>> Thanks to 98Guy for keeping us updated with these mods to keep W98 >>> going! >>> >>> I for one don't always use them but keep information in the back of my >>> mind or even archive it for possible future use.

BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE... 9X is EOL. It ended support life with a finite set of vulnerabilities, change those and you have NO idea what you do have. You want fixes then do like you're SUPPOSED to do, search for programmers providing ACTUAL DESIGNED FOR 9X applications... guess what, there are some still doing so. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___---

Actually nimrods, I have tested 9X betas, win3 betas, XP betas, and the OSs, Linux compilations, and thousands of applications, AND posted to the programmers. WHILE doing legal work, my regular work, a computer business, AND a couple hobbies. Now what is it EXACTLY that you have done in your POS lives, I mean besides being the idiots you are... -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___---

If you've tested 9x then why don't YOU test these suggested 9x patches instead of always bellyaching that they need or should be tested. After all, you're the big test man, right? Microsoft engineers come to you when they need testing - right? You wrote the book on Windoze testing - right? And you've worked on inventing and setting up usenet for them too - right? > WHILE doing legal work, my regular work, > Now what is it EXACTLY that you have done in your POS lives You think I/we've got POS lives? You're the one doing "legal work". |
