NO FLAME pls. ! The following part of the mail was:
(Oh yeah and this is not a Microsoft only problem, or why do f.e. openssh/openssl allow RSA keys without passphrases?)
Indeed. But it is the continuos struggle between security and usability.... --- With this I mean I do realize it is not just a Micrsoft problem, it is present everywhere. It is because you try to give functionality, and each feature brings risks. You have to find a balance among the two. And how do you find a balance ? You try. You go a bit one way a bit another, till you find the in-between. I did not mean to bash.Just considerations.
Sp4 was not new nor elite, i know, i apologize. Nite. Peace. Daniele InCisT wrote:

Another issue I personally encountered some days ago was an application which all of a sudden stopped working after having applied SP4 (on a windows 2000 server), because of the NEW user rights they introduced: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=821546[SNIP]Last I heard sp4 was NOT new. And this is typical of all software companies not just MS. If something needs to be fixed ASAP and you cant figure it out, disable it and work on it (email merge in Open Office, some ACPI functions on 2.4.23, ect.) Its not just MS and im not a MS lover by any means, but try and be reasonable and fair instead of just company bashing.InCisT
