Yes, I saw that. That's where I found the MSDN blog that describes the why and that an update is out. Unfortunately, the Annoyances page, which all other pages seem to quote verbatim, doesn't offer any details, just that it's "bad." If it's that bad, they should be able to provide some proof, a link to a published exploit or a MS page with the security alert or any site with *any* details, to back up their claim. As of right now, it's FUD. > There was a discussion of this on Security Now! this week- < > http://twit.tv/sn199>.

They corrected the behavior which allowed the user-level install, so I won't assign malice. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
