Re: Microsoft confirms OneCare zaps Outlook, Outlook Express e-mail

You've GOT to be kidding TOM. I have NEVER introduced any bug into any piece
of software that would cause users to get that doomed feeling like this one
did. And early on no one knew how to recover from it.

And this has been an issue for 9 months and still not fixed.

We need to lighten up.

I am not a hugely pro-Microsoft guy, but this is much ado about
nothing.  No data is lost, the fix takes 30 seconds, and the
workaround another 30 seconds. And that quote .. talk about overly
dramatic, almost hysterical.

On one hand, we expect instantaneous (or even advance) response from
these vendors for every little 1-in-100,000,000 "security" glitch, but
on the other hand we sensationalize every error. How many of us have
never released a flawed program change into production?  I certainly
have, and I only have ONE environment to test, and a system with
perhaps 1% of the complexity of Windows.
