Things I'd really like to know...

... exactly who named Conficker, Conficker?

... and exactly what does Conficker mean anyway?

... and why did they change "Add/remove Programs" to "Program and Features" in Vista and Windows 7?

... how many additional seconds of my life will be spent scrolling down to "Programs and Features'?

... why do people care if it's "S-Q-L" or "Sequel"?  I mean, regardless of if I call it "S-Q-L" or "Sequel" I still don't fully know what I'm doing when I'm dealing with it.  So regardless if I know which is the true and proper way to refer to it, doesn't change the fact that I still don't know what I'm doing when I launch the Management Express console.

... Facebook may have 200 million people signed up ...but how many REALLY use Facebook? Or how many like me are occasional users and primarily because everyone I know stuck their MVP summit photos up there so if you wanted to see them you had to sign up?

Today's list of things I'd really like to know ...

A virus called Downadup (by Symantec) was named Conflicker by Microsoft.

Ask Microsoft.

Because if you click a link in the applet the same applet adds that adds and removes programs also adds and removes Windows features?

Less than changing XP default control panel to Classic view?

I don't care. I do find it convenient to know the ones who call it SEQUEL have no idea what they are talking about. (Again that's a MS word as far as I know... no one calls it MySEQUEL... its only Microsoft SEQUEL that I have ever heard of.)

What's Facebook? I went there once but couldn't see anything.

Susan, thanks for all the great articles, I love to read your stuff. This one really made me smile. Keep it up.

John

You can share a facebook album with the outside world so they can view it without signing up...

Badger them into changing the view settings ;-)

In fact there aren't even settings to change...it's just a link

e.g www.facebook.com/album.php

Usually at the bottom of the album when you edit it
