Sigh...
Please re-read the article. The patch does not create "another and bigger" vulnerability. The patch effectively breaks any dial-up networking connection that relies on running a script. Apparently the geniuses at Microsoft think that people who rely on those type of connections are too rare to worry about. So now the danger is that if you rely on a script for dial-up networking, you have to uninstall the patch to get it to work. And that means you'll be able to connect to the Internet but risk having that vulnerability exploited. Maybe now that there's an published exploit Microsoft will get off their butts and fix their stupid patch.
