   You can take that list and make them vulnerabilities that are the =
responsibility of the vendor that releases them.

   Are you really this dumb?  Is this lack of responsiblity the policy =
of, Sun, your employer?

  Nope it's a distrib coz I got my laptop out of it's box & turned it on =
&
  everything was already there & loaded. I have yet to open any of the =
cd'es that
  came with the Dell. It's a hard disk distrib. A CD is a piece of =
hardware.=20

  In fact I seem to remember (but I don't have the docs to hand) that =
some parts
  of the "dell XP distie" come with a set of "if you change
this stuff =
you're on
  your own" warnings in the docs.

  As such if Rich's list from RH is valid then it's valid to run up a =
list of all
  the vendors who pre-load Windows onto machines & then to run up a list =
of the
  apps they also pre-load & thus to count all those apps as part of =
Windows.
