First MyDoom and then this. Not a good start to the year for Microsoft. And they still haven't fixed the flaw found in December, which can be used in conjunction with this.

Oh, I figured it out. MS wanted to have that patch-free month, so they just decided not to release patches for known security flaws.

What makes you say that? It's no different than things were in 2003...or 2002...or 2001 (Nimda and Code Red, anyone?) or 2000...1999...1998...et cetera, ad nauseum.

Huh...and Steve Ballmer says everything would be fine if security researchers would "just be quiet."

Do you remember Bush2000's horror (read glee!) at Apple not immediately releasing a patch for a minor, non-exploited security hole in OSX?

Strange, here it is Windows with the problem and here he is dancin' and dodgin' again.

This is really funny.
