I just saw this on slashdot, so for those of you who don't read slashdot,
enjoy.

Yeah, its a little bit off topic, but with the recent amount of viruses,
worms, trojans, etc going around the Internet that are causing havoc with
general day to day operations of ISPs, this is quite an interesting read.

Basically, Microsoft is claiming that security exploits only come out after
patches.

Uh huh, yeah right.

(waiting for his list AUP violation notice, again)
