"eeye could wipe out 95% of the world's computers any time they want". =20

       I'm saying that even according to eeye Windows XP SP2 and Windows =
Server 2003 SP1 are not vulnerable to the two remote exploits they =
reported.  This overlooks that a firewall will make even older versions =
immune.  Your bullshit claim regarding "95% of the world's

       Why can't you be mature and honest enough to admit you were =
wrong?

      I was the one who made the statement and it was "pretty much any =

= that XPsp2 and S03 don't require any of the october critical patches? As
= for pull vs push, I can push you a pdf file to pull and that makes it a =

           At the time I said assume Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server =
2003 SP1.  According to eeye, both are immune to the remote push = attacks.
 The remote pull attacks eeye reported are apply to an older = release of
Windows Media Player and to an older COM component that a = tiny fraction
of people would have installed.  They don't help your = claim at all
because eeye can't compel people to visit a web page they = own with the
appropriate level of access or download and open a file = they supply.  And
again none affect me or my family.

           First, folks don't have to visit Windows Update.  Updates can =
be and often are installed automatically.  Even without this, you are =
nowhere close to "95% of the worlds computers".

          George's claim was that the exploits would allow pretty much =
any windows box on the internet to be rooted by eeye, you are the one =
trying to limit this to your specific computer where you run mostly just =
the newest versions of whatever MS gives you.

          anyone can go to windows update and see if they require the =
patches, how many folks here do you think will find that they do?

               George's false claim was in regard to eeye's reported =
claims.  I don't have a vulnerable copy of that installed anywhere and =
only one or two of my machines have any copy.

               The simple point is that George was wrong.  He'd look =
