Hi Michael!

What's new with that? =) 

Anyway, Microsoft has issued "patch" for the "serious" XP hole
(http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-8244349.html?tag=mn_hd). Is this
related to Steve Gibson's criticism on the XP's inclusion of raw sockets
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/20387.html)?

Percy =)
