Quick Action
Let's see, according to the story Secunia reported these flaws on Thursday. Was that Today, or last Thursday. ZDNET: Inquiring minds want to know.

In either case, this goes to show what kind of support Linux is now receiving from the commercial companies. Releasing patches in a week or less?

Microsoft....TAKE HEED!
