Sure, I'll bite. It looks like that MS did make good on their promise to deliver a secure OS. Infection by OS version: https://forums.symantec.com/t5/blogs/blogarticlepage/blog-id/malicious_code/ article-id/224 The Vista share barely registers next to XP's. The worm can be completely mitigated by installing a patch that has been out for months.

Sheesh. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
