assumptions
"Unpatched vulnerabilities are low risk. Many of the older ones are moot because they apply pre-SP2."

This would be assuming that everyone is running XP (and thus can benefit from the "added security" of XPSP2) and that those that do have it actually installed SP2 (which are figures that no one can probably accurately ascertain).

"If you want to talk about serious vulnerabilities, just beware of the "`" character in HTTP links with your Firefox browser on top of Linux. We wouldn't want any arbitrary commands launching now will we."

And to lob a nice shot back at ya, wouldn't want to merely visit web pages unless your Windows is XP and has been fully patched. I don't know why, but to me, merely surfing and potentially getting hit seems MUCH MUCH more serious than accidentally typing an uncommon series of non-alphanumeric characters. wink
