One of the bad bugs patched yesterday affected every version of Windows from Win95 onward -- 20 years worth.

Of course, the unsupported operating systems Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2000, and WinXP WILL NOT GET FIXED, since they don't get security updates any more.

Thanks to Utilizer for posting that thread!

Bless you, mate. I try so hard to make certain the customers I support are kept aware of security issues, and of course then I want to make the FReepers aware also so your untiring efforts in spreading the information out are much appreciated.

Cheers! :)
