This article is only of interest to professional Windows System Administrators who use Microsoft's "Exchange" software to manage email servers. Everyone else, and I suspect you fall in this category, can pretty much ignore it since it doesn't apply to regular Windows use.
The article describes a vulnerability in the Exchange software that can lead to bad things in the server.

Thanks, that's what I thought, but since I'm NOT well versed in tech stuff, I'd better ask.
Yes, this doesn't apply to me at all.

Everyone else, and I suspect you fall in this category, can pretty much ignore it since it doesn't apply to regular Windows use. I'd disagree somewhat. According to the article it appears that you can remotely escalate your privs using the exchange server to do so. It is up to the domain admins to figure out some way to mitigate, but anyone in a position of authority in a corporate environment should take note of this, because it could make hacker's lives pretty easy until it is fixed. From what I understand, 70+ of all hacking is done by internal folks.
