Posting attempt 2 : Dangerous to Microsoft credibility

Wasn't a list of un-patched Windows flaws published on ZDnet very recently? Oh yes, it was.

http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=135


Here is a list of unpatched Windows XP issues. Are they dangerous! Ha! Do bees hum? Do MS trolls try to pretend there's "nothing to see here"? Is every single Microsoft Windows user at risk from exploits aimed at any one of these un-patched flaws? Yes! Could any one of the MS fan boys trying despeartely to direct attention away from this issue, be posting from an infected Windows machine? Yes! UNPATCHED.

That means every Windows box on the planet is a candidate for infection by an exploit for any one of these flaws. And guess what? The hackers won't issue a public advisary when they've released the explouit into the wild. The first you'll know of it is reading an MS troll posting "oooooh this isn't dangerous, honest!"

As per ususal, users of non-Microsoft operating systems are un-affected.
