OT: Serious Windows & Adobe Security Flaw

[Lord_Bob]

One of the good things about people being forced to upgrade, but no actual improvements happening is that you can use the old stuff, like Windows 2000, and you don't have any bug problems. It's really irritating actually that QuatroPro hasn't got any better since Fast Hand's Bill stole it and renamed it "Excel". But that's pretty much Bill Gate's entire carreer. Look up "Gary Kildall" to see what I mean.

Is this not the same bug that made problems with firefox before and microsoft did say that there is nothing wrong with their software?

things like that dont happen on linux

Yes, it is, except the Firefox crew patched their software, thus eliminating that particular attack vector, but it is now a confirmed issue with IE and the Windows XP operating system in general.

This isn't a problem with Vista for those curious.
