Nice try.

Great, you've linked an article that shows a couple people have put this on their website. Now, for an exploit to be successful, it actually has to pwn people. Please dig a little deeper and find anyone who has actually been affected by this. It seems that your idea of "success" is probably pretty low. Let me guess, you live in your mom's basement. However, I view success as something that affects at minimum a few thousand people, hopefully a few million people. This MSXML flaw isn't going to get anyone because the vulnerable version isn't even installed by default on any Windows OS. Try again!!

This just got patched, it's been out in the wild for a while and real users are getting hit.

Just to clarify here. That article did not say that real users are getting hit, only that the exploit is out. Please provide a link to an article that suggests people are actually getting hit. Then you can have a nap.
