looks like this is huge.

On Tuesday, the software giant released a fix for a networking flaw that affects every computer running Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. If left unpatched, the security hole could allow a worm to spread quickly throughout the Internet, causing an incident similar to the MSBlast attack last summer.

Windows update prompted me for an install. I think it should do this by default for all of those novice users out there. I hate having to suffer because of the ignorance of others.

[EDIT]

Just wanted to prepare and say that I was / am aware that this isn't just a user issue.

[/EDIT]

It certainly is huge.

Microsoft knew about this July 2003. :rolleyes: and now its very bad considering the OSs it affects are all the major home/business ones
