Microsoft releases "Major" security update

Only months after Bill Gates promised to improve the stability of the company’s windows operating system Microsoft was today forced to admit that the system has more holes than a Swiss cheese.
The company, which has distributed over thirty major security updates over the last year, however promises that this time they've got it right.
Ursula Nix, European technical director told BIGfib:
"Bill promised that stability would be increased, and while our usual support team has been plugging holes in the spaghetti of windows code on the usual ad-hoc basis, we've also has a second team overseen directly by Bill Himself which has been analysing the underlying problems.
The team has now made a full report and this latest update is guaranteed by the company to resolve all underlying problems.
Security update Q323256 which is free, requires re-formatting of the PC hard disk, complete re-installation of the Windows software, and replacement of all existing Windows software with new versions.
"We realise that this is no small deal..." Nix told BIGfib, "But if we're really going to sort out the mess that Windows has become and catch up with companies like Sun and Apple who now have stable clean uncrashable system software there has to be a little pain."

In association with the software community at large, and to encourage the switch, Microsoft will be providing free versions of all the basic software required to use this latest version of Windows.


Security Update Q323256 codename "Finally", is available from the following address:
