It just goes to show that Microsoft Windows shouldn't be used for mission
critical stuff. The Internet wouldn't be possible if it was based on
Windows, it would simply be too unreliable. It's an outrage that Microsoft
can't get these base-services to work error-free. I mean, DNS is such an
important Internet service that if it were hackable than the security
implications would be tremendous. I'd type in 'www.bankofscotland.co.uk' and
suddenly I'd end up on a fake website somewhere in Russia!
