I want them to get the patch out as quickly as everyone else, but they do need to "test" things before they tell every Windows user on earth to install them you know...

hah.

wonder what the odds are that this patch being distributed opens up a new hole.

And this affects every Windows PC since 1990. Good job MS.

There's already an unofficial patch by some Russian programmer.

And the kick in the pants? The virus software on all three of my PCs at home expired today!

I installed the Computer Associates e-Trust free 1 year trial, and so far I like it better than McAfee. If you guys need protection check it out:
