Ok, one "highly critical"

It's not clear if this will work on SP2, and you have to install the activeX plug-in MCIWNDX.OCX on the client's machine first which will prompt by default on an SP2 machine even if it is digitally signed by Microsoft. It's also not clear if this one has been verified by Microsoft.

I agree it should probably be fixed or at least confirmed or denied by Microsoft. All the other unpatched vulnerabilities are low risk and may not apply to the most recent version of IE on XP SP2.

The bottom line is, this article isn't about Microsoft's security problems, it's about Firefox problems. The way Mozilla advertises Firefox makes it sound like Firefox is suppose to be fundamentally superior in security. That simply isn't true.
