What's Your Online Safety Score? (Take Microsoft's survey and find out)

Im on Win98se and if i marked YES i couldnt take the survey..

You're on the best computer help site in the world, and you're using 98SE? Nothing has sunk in? What have you done with your 1,851 posts?

(I was having my knee replaced when this was posted, so I'm making up for lost time. I still have to do most of Nov, + Dec, Jan and Feb. )

I was just fooling around. What do you do about the security issue?

Well I value my privacy MORE THAN MOST these days and I do not trust the newer OS's @ all..... (That plus i dont like how they look as much)

I think THE BEST WAY to try and limit spying so ONLY YOUR ISP SEES YOUR STUFF is to use OLDER STUFF from before the intrusive phase started.... (Software,etc) Then you know nothing you use is spying on you.... (The only thing you can get away from is your ISP (very easily anyway))

Microsoft started locking down Windows,taking away things the end user could do with the SP4 update on Win2000 .... (All OS's before that are in the clear as far as privacy,end user customisation,etc)


Its important to be able to MAINTAIN any privacy you still can,especially now!!

That's true of some applications, but the internet has changed and has become a super-spy. You're still on the internet, and you're not safe on your old system unless you disconnect entirely.

As far as outward appearance, Win XP doesn't look so very different from 98SE, it's still very much in use, and is reasonably secure with all the updates.
