More sloppy journalism...

How come they don't say that security firm critical of
MS, downplaying the severity of this flaw? Oh wait, they only say
that about Apple. Seem the security firms think it's high risk[/
b], yet MS just says it important. This shows that ZDNet is
biased. If it allows remote access. Where's @Stake on this? why
aren't they jumping up and down whining? Is MS saying it's
"important" much different than Apple saying a security update
is "Strongly recommended"?

The software maker described the problem as "important," its
second-highest rating for such problems. Antivirus software
maker Symantec, meanwhile, characterized the vulnerability as
"high risk," citing the impact that there could be if the
vulnerability was successfully exploited

Just goes to show, advertising dollars can slant you view on
anything.
