Rival computer hackers exploited a newly disclosed flaw in Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system to attack dozens of companies in what security experts said was an Internet-crime turf war.
Among the companies hit hard by fast-spreading computer worms were a number of media outlets, including Time Warner Inc.'s CNN unit, New York Times Co. and ABC, a unit of Walt Disney Co. Computers crashed at Kraft Foods Inc. yesterday afternoon and United Parcel Service Inc. reported that a "very small" number of computers in various locations were affected by a worm.
I can't help but wonder: when are people going to learn? Windows is a poor, poor operating system, and there are much better alternatives available, particularly in the server space. Even in the client space, no matter how computer-clueless you might be, Mac OS X is clearly superior. So, why are so many people still running Windows? IT'S A PEACE OF JUNK!!!
