    A little self-depreciation from the Microsoft camp

    #16 on the list of 25 worst websites, according to msn.com:

    "Microsoft Windows Update
    Microsoft could have escaped our notice if we didn't have to visit this cryptic and difficult-to-use site so often. It's the only reason to ever use Internet Explorer--and then simply because Microsoft's update site won't work with any other browser. But it's not reason enough. "

    I was surprised to find an example of someone from MS taking an opportunity to bash MS not just for the website, but for the whole BROWSER!

    He's not from Microsoft, he's a PC World columnist. Yay for syndication.
    Safe computing is a habit, not a toolkit.

    MS Update mightn't be anything wonderful, but "Rabies Web Page for Kids"? "Viral and Rickettsial Zoonoses"? A leftover from April the 1st surely...

    Yes, syndication is pretty funny sometimes.
    The rabies one looks real to me. Terrible, though.
