I really wish people would stop comparing software agreements to car warrantees, cars verses software?? Cars will always win, it's a hardware thing. -----Original Message----- From: full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com [mailto:full-disclosure-admin () lists netsys com]On Behalf Of Paul Tinsley Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 2:26 PM To: Joshua Levitsky Cc: Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu; full-disclosure () lists netsys com; Steve Wray Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Hacker suspect says his PC was hijacked Do you often buy cars directly from the manufacturer? I pretty much assumed you didn't have a car drop shipped to your house and would have a dealership in the loop... And I mean it's not like Microsoft doesn't send out critical patching information, hell I get about 20 notices a day, just click on that executable they conveniently send in the email and your set ;) Joshua Levitsky wrote:

I put car manufacturers right behind my dentist in reminders, well lawn care is somewhere in the middle me thinks....That was your particular dealer sending the flyers no? The only notes I've ever gotten from Ford were things that my dealer sent. So I've always taken it upon myself to make sure I understood when my vehicle needed service based on how it is used. That's why I equate CompUSA with my Ford dealer. CompUSA could send notes to people they sold computers to saying "You need to update x, y, and z. If you bring your PC in for service then we will happily update it for you." -Josh -- Joshua Levitsky, CISSP, MCSE System Engineer AOL Time Warner [5957 F27C 9C71 E9A7 274A 0447 C9B9 75A4 9B41 D4D1]
