'Nuff said.

you can click by mistake on a link in Windows Mail (gee, there's an original
name!!!) without realizing it by bumping the mouse at the wrong time and bingo...

Sure it's a long shot but if you do that in Mail (the original app from which the
name was copied), in order to install the virus, you would be asked for your
password and you would wonder what the heck that was doing there.

Sorry Loverock, while there have been no exploits, it just PROVES without a doubt
now that Vista will be hacked. Lack of installed base isn't holding it back, hackers
just need to understand it a little better and then, whammy, exploits will happen.
