Windows 2000 faces security melt down - According to News.com, a "critical" Windows 2000 exploit has been released on the Internet designed to kick the crutch of the ageing operating system. The exploit takes advantage of a security hole in a file system and print request application "Workstation Service". The flaw can be exploited remotely without any user interaction.

Microsoft upgrades Hotmail storage to 1GB - Microsoft's webmail service, Hotmail, is currently upgrading users from 250MB to 1GB. Windows Live Mail has a maximum of 2GB storage, but many users don't wish to use it, and therefore were stuck on 250MB.

I side with Venoms post. Who ever wrote that knows what he's talking about. I'll likely upgrade to Vista when "I have no choice".
