Buy A Beer And Get An Update

Posted by: [NT] on: 09/10/2003 11:59 AM [ Print | 2 comment(s) ] · 921 views

Microsoft Germany announced, that they have plans to distribute update or patch CD's in supermarkets / grocery stores which are selling high volumes of Microsoft Windows equipped computers.
This piece of news was reported by the german newspaper "Wirtschaftswoche".
This idea is the result of the latest heavy worm attacks from viruses like Sobrig or Blaster which took advantage of unpatched and unsecure systems of computer users. Also a fully automatic online update feature in the next Windows Versions is planned. If other countries will use these distribution ways is not know yet.
