Windows 7 Beta users: Run, don't walk, to download the MP3 patch

Does this update come down over Windows Update too?

I would expect that people only test copies of their music on a beta, rather than the only copy that they own, so I don't think anyone permanently ruined a collection.

Ocean, that BSOD is probably a video card driver or some bad hardware component, either the video card or RAM.

I think the only reason Safari exists on Windows is so developers can use it for compatibility testing for the iPhone.

robertsjoe, I will remember your words when I see BBOD on my Mac OS X. I thought it were bad third party drivers or software, but if you say so, let it be bad Mac OS X responsible, I don't mind. Dipsht, this vuln is moderate not only for Win 7, but for Vista too, which is good news. Anyway, I won't touch Win 7 until SP1 comes out for it. Got burnt with early install of Vista RTM in 2007, not that stupid anymore. See ya in a couple of years, Windows 7 SP1.

@robertsjoe - You mean like this? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3338 --tayme

I wonder if robertsjoe does not even install Apple's security patches - just like he ignored Apple's short-lived recommendation that their users run an anti-virus for better security - because OS X is claimed to be the epitome of perfection. Why would you need to patch a perfect system, or need to add additional protections to an allegedly invulnerable OS?

thanks Mike ;-)

@mikegalos: Of course I install all updates. As I'm sure you do the enormous amounts of updates (and almost as many security updates) for Windows. Bet you can't wait until Terrifying Tuesday of each month when Microsoft patches the sieve (Windows).

Microsoft to sign a search deal with Yahoo! http://kara.allthingsd.com/20090113/is-microsoft-search-deal-with-yahoo-... Time to let go of all Yahoo! accounts and service usage. It's sad to see it choose a second (third?) rate search company like Microsoft.

@robertsjoe: "Hope you guys have patched Windows 6.1 and not touch any MP3 files. They'll be corrupted" Nah, they're not. As always, you obviously didn't mind to check the details. MP3s get corrupted, if they - contain more than 16 KB of Metadata, and - get those Metadata edited, either manually or automatically by Windows Media Player when automtatic updating over the Internet is selected. I checked my MP3 collection (some 25.000 files), and though i'm using Album Art a lot, none of those has more than 16 KB of Metadata. Not that i think that this is of the slightest interest to you, but as an information to those who haven't dived into the problem details yet. No need for heart attacks....

@robertsjoe - "Bet you can't wait until Terrifying Tuesday..." Yes, its good to know that security vulnerabilities will be patched quickly. With Apple, you never know how long it might be. --tayme

robertsjoe is a troll.....and his posts don't even make sense.

Of course robertsjoe has turn up the rhetoric and the random illogic that comes up. I have an explanation. There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone. Take the case of one robertsjoe. An individual so obsessed with his Apple computer that he blogs on sites dedicated to its rival Windows. Without rhyme, reason, or logic for that matter, he spouts random bits of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in feelbe attempts to persuade Windows users to buy Apple. Unhindered by his extreme unpopularity and by intelligent posters who refute everything he says, robertsjoe continues his fanboyish tyrades unabashed in his ignorance. However, the world would change on Sunday, January 11th of the year Two Thousand and Nine. As he logged into Safari, he saw that Windows 7 Beta testers and pundits were lauding praise on Microsoft's newest OS. Even Mac users to his utter shock and horror were.... (Cue music) DUN, DUN, DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loading copies of Windows 7 on their Macbooks! No, it just wasn't on Macbooks. It was being loaded on Macbook Pro's, iMacs, Mac Mini's, Macbook Air's, and Macbook Pro's. "How could this be? Mac's are superior!" robertsjoe said to himself. "This is impossible." Then robertsjoe went to the Apple Support forums for Bootcamp and saw this... http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1842538&tstart=0 "I have to stop this. Stop the insanity." said the wily blogger. So he raced to the Supesite for Windows, but it was too late. It was all over the Internet.... Mac users were using Windows 7 and the last fragile piece of sanity cracked in the poor man's head. Picture if you will, a man who teeters between the imaginary and the reality of things. A man lost in a multi-OS world where its no longer black or white, communist or capitalist, and OS'es are now variable shades of grey. A man lost without the OS that defines him, betrayed by the company who told him his computer was superior. RobertsJoe, you are now in the TWILIGHT ZONE!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzlG28B-R8Y (Enjoy! Peace.)

robertsjoe, what a joker!
