If this was an IE flaw, there wouldn't be a patch 4 days later.

So what. Making a patch available doesn't mean that everybody affected is going to apply that patch. If history has proven anything, it's that people don't apply patches in a timely fashion.

I cant worry about what everyone else would do, point is I would harden *my* boxes..

I'll be damned. Bush2000 said something I can agree with. I guess a stopped clock is right twice a day and all that...

One of the reasons people have stopped installing MS updates in a timely manner is many of them cause problems worse than what you're trying to fix. That XP SP2 pack screwed a lot of machines. Also MS has a history of sneaking undocumented fixes and system setting changes into these patches. Not nice.

It's all about trust. Many people don't trust MS as much as they once did.

Meanwhile, Apple's cred keeps on growing. Apple is enjoying a "halo effect" where 1 in 7 consumers who purchased an iPod purchased a Mac as their next box. Owch. And have you seen those new iPod Nanos? Damn. Those things are so cool Microsoft might not be able to pay you soon, Bush2000.

Say 'hi' to Team13 for me. 'night.
