    FYI : the patch is also available for W2000.

    And it is also available for NT4 only to companies who have extended support from MS.

    No patch for Win 9x because MS considers there is no much risk for this plateforms...

    Haven't had a MS update on my Task Bar in months, and this one showed up last night. Although I think the danger is over-hyped, I installed it. For those who whine about both having patches and not having patches, you are being unreasonable. It's very unreasonable to demand that your OS work perfectly with every piece of hardware and software in the world, yet you expect it to be without any vulnerabilities. If MS made their OS's totally secure, it would be too restrictive, and the whining would only get louder. I'm not an MS Fanboy, just reasonable.

    Microsoft needs to start hiring more security experts to audit their code from inside. I'm sure there are lots more "gems" that a professional low-level hacker would easily discover there and correct. I also agree that one of these days Microsoft's (and these MickySoft fanboys bellow) nonchalance shall cost us all dearly.
