I wouldn't exactly call this news. Everyone knows how unstable and unsecure that network is. Its a shame really. This is just another reason why gamers are choosing Xbox One. With the reliability and security of Xbox live, to the amazing exclusives, its easy to see why Xbox One is THE place to game this holiday season. Thank you Microsoft. We are humbled.

No offense... But whenever I read your pro-microsoft drivel I can't help but think of this:

Finally we know the reason why XBox One is so far ahead of PS4 in sales. Praise Microsoft

Praise Microsoft....for making Windows and IE so filled with holes and exploits, that most people focus on that :D

I assume you haven't used a modern Windows PC in the last decade? It's actually stable, feature rich and patched often, whilst being the most secure Desktop OS. It wins all the hacking competitions between it, MacOS and Linux by taking the longest to be exploited.

As for Internet Explorer? It's a fantastic browser that lets me download Firefox, that's all I use it for.

Not directly related but a fun point non the less.

Windows XP is now so atrociously exploited that the combined number of compromised machines on the planet ensure that a windows XP machine on a fresh install will contract a virus or malware within 10 seconds of the network being connected, with no input or actions taken by the user to achieve this.

There's just that many malware/spyware/virus ridden machines constantly throwing out their junky tentacles in to the web that WinXP without a good firewall is like waving a bagel at a flock of hungry seaguls.

Anyone running Windows XP these days, needs to have a reality check.
The Operating System was released in 2001, 13 years ago, with support now no longer offered on Desktop/Laptop computers.
Heck, most new games and software now-a-days don't even support the OS.

You can also avoid all Maleware/Spyware/Viruses by simply using common sense, which ironically, doesn't seem to be that common, thus if you catch one of those nasties? It's your own damn fault.

You just don't go to a brothel and not wear a condom and expect to get away without contracting an STI/STD.
