Today while travellig around the WWW, I came across a link that got my attention – Microsoft has put up a newsbot or a newsrobot – rather like Google News.

The newsbot scans the net every so many minutes and updates the site with the latest news. Also it tends to monitor your clicks and filters the news as per your clicks.

All that sounds good, but given Microsofts’ previous track recrod – especially for non tech users like me – i am truly scared of clicking anything on the siet, in case my computer comes down with some virus or spyware or something equally terrible

In other very funny MS news – i read a report ( i have lost the link) on a new set of security upgrades for exploer. The last time I installed service pack 1, i lost the ability to use explorer for the only thing that i used it for – blogging. I wonder what would happen if i install the new upgrades?
