MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

hopefully it won't happen because people won't adopt it in large numbers.

Vista? They should've named it FUBAR.

I think we should start NOW putting together petitions to ban computers running Microsoft Windoze Vista from our ISP's networks. Filter 'em out before they bring us all down!

GIGO, as opposed to GIGLI - Garbage In Garbage Left Inside. That's as twisted as you want it to be.

'Slow and gooey'

I was that way in high school. Fast and dry is much better.

What's 'GIGO'? (MDN take)

Ahhh - just twigged (duh!)

'Garbage In, Garbage Out'

Is it any surprise that the next Microsoft OS has the capability to destroy Internet life as we know it??? They've been allowing people for years to poison it with spam, virus, and adware traffic. Why not just blow up the whole thing so that their machines/OS can't be affected any longer!

I'll take smooth and moist any day...

Microsoft Fails4Sure "New internet breaking version!!"

Let's see, who to believe?
The DNS registry inventor, or MS.

"but the Redmond, Wash.-based software maker does not expect Vista machines will impact the overall functionality of the Internet, the company said,"


Let me alter that sentence.

"but the Redmond, Wash.-based software maker does not expect Vista machines will be used anytime befor 2010, the company said,"


besides, if new harware is required, won't significant #'s of people avoid?

I'm still waiting for a large corporation, the government, or even an individual to sue Mafia$oft for their defective software.

"Unsafe at any speed - Winblows"

Mr. Reeee: Smooth, slow and moist can be good too. Except if it's sandpaper. Fast, sticky and rough works also. Especially in a dark theater.

Goo In Goo Out

A Microsoft exec leaves, complaints continue to mount with Vista. And Apple introduces some sweet iMacs......Life is good.

Oh, there will be Millions of mindless lemmings slurping up the Vista crap.

The Internet is already bogged down by million of terrabite traffic genearted by zombied Windows computer, scanning IP numbers for crooks and billions of spam emails generated from same.

thanks... Bill Gates of Hell

You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! God damn you all to hell!

(What else would you expect from Monkey Boy Ballmer?)

"I'm still waiting for a large corporation, the government, or even an individual to sue Mafia$oft for their defective software."

Its amazing isn't it?

Aplle gets sued over "scratches" on a few iPods.

M$ costs companies and users worldwide BILLIONS of wated dollars... Not one law suite

Sickening!

Apple has supported both of these protocols symultaneously since Tiger I believe (IPv4 and IPv6). The only way that we can transition to the new and better of the two (IPv6) is by supporting both in a transitioning roll. This is not a story. It will not effect DNS. It may increase traffic, but it's not a Vista-excusive thing. It's something Mac OS X has been doing for years and needs to be done to move along with IP technology.

The 2nd version the author is talking about is IPv6. Mac's support IPv6 also, but it's off by default (at least it's off on my 10.4.7 and I haven't mucked with it). IPv6 is scarce, so one would assume that a name lookup would try the more common one first THEN try IPv6. But no, not Microsoft. They will be hitting the DNS machines with an IPv6 request first, and if that fails (which it would the majority of the time for the next several years at least) then they'll try IPv4.

Smart, eh?

Or as we say in the IT department, "Garbage In, Gospel Out"!

It's not MacDailyNews anymore, it's more like MicrosoftDamnedNews.

'suppose I don't mind, as it's entertaining watching the computer world's Titanic slowly sink.

It is incredibly smart of MS to check IPv6 first. IPv6 should be rolling out in large numbers in the next few years, let's say three until most websites have an IPv6 address. Well, in three years, MS will still be three years from releasing their next OS and people are only going actually start adopting Vista in 2008, after SP1 has come out. So, by the time that there are large numbers of Vista users, there will be many IPv6 websites out there and they will only be halfway to their next OS. It is very smart of MS to think about the timeline of their rollout and plan accordingly. Otherwise they might look incredibly stupid for taking so long to release an OS that is using massively outdated technology.

Will it never end?

Fsking MafiaSoft!

Mac7,
Exactly - absolutely sickening, absolutely no consequences.

And at this point I would like to take just a moment to express my, uh, gratitude to MS for spreading their miasma to absolutely everyone, even when we're no where near Windows. Thanks a lot Redmond dudes - really, thanks.

Lets all protest at Redmond and throw apples at their windows shattering the glass into pieces,

I propose a Mac only internet, that'll show 'em.

Winston!!!

easssssssy boy easy

there now,

drink this now...

good boy

put down that hatchet.

that's right

and the gun too.

now stay boy, stay

phew!! we almost lost you Winstonboy

Typical Micro$oftopoly.

Enough said.

Mac7.... just remember that companies that buy Mafia$oft
then they WILL have to pay huge price to fix all that CRAP!!!!! not M$... M$ is just laughing all the way to the bank....

so it Business fault... if the business switch to MAC OS X then that will shut M$ mouth off forever =)

This presupposes that large numbers of people are actually going to buy the crap?

Can we sue them if my email to Granny doesn't get there?

Well this is braking news literally!

"This presupposes that large numbers of people are actually going to buy the crap?"

That's the evil genius behind the Microsoft Tax. Businesses and consumers will eXPerience Vista when it comes pre-loaded on their shiny, new PCs. Little bundles of joy with a pretty face and a demonic body. It's Rose-ballmer's baby. Forget Not Invented Here. The MS mantra is Everything Was Invented Here Just Because We're Huge And We Said So.

How many Microsoft engineers does it take to change a light bulb?


None, they just declare darkness the new standard.

Corporations and the Government will never bring suite against M$ because they'd have to bring themselves into the suite for being M$'s cronies. The Execs are too busy setting-up their golden parachutes and off-shore accounts for the day when stockholders finally wise-up and ask how they could have supported such piracy and inefficiency over the years. This partnership goes all the way back to the 2K fiasco which cost the corps billions and continues to this day with all the virus/adware/malware costs to corporations and consumers.

Micro$uck doesn't care if the Intent is slowed down... of course they are going to state that it is not going to impact the overall performance.
I think we should just ban Vista.
