Microsoft Locator - Not really an issue. Everybody should be running a firewall.
Content Management - How many people actually run this? A thimbleful?
Outlook - Marginal scenario at best. Not a default configuration: 99.99% of all users aren't affected.

... if you really want to complain about bugs, chew on this really serious vulnerability: Open-source defect reaches deep

YeahRight... how many average users (even average Linux users) even know what CVS is? OTOH, everybody knows about ~~Lookout~~ Outlook.

# Content Management - How many people actually run this? A thimbleful?

Just curious. I saw that you posted a thread day before yesterday indicating your belief that because CVS (a source control system used for programmers) was found to have a security flaw, that this again showed that open source is fundamentally flawed.

Yet here when a security flaw is found that impacts Microsofts Content Management server -- which does essentially what CVS does -- that it is a non-issue?

Now I tend to be neutral on the MS/Mac/Unix/Linux wars - I have used all of them and currently run Win2000, WinXP, and Linux. But it appears you are quite biased. Why do you have a knee-jerk reaction to attack Linux and Mac and defend MS no matter what? Especially here where you have attacked the one and defended the other - for flaws in the same functional area?

Is this like a religious issue for you?
