    Are you going to claim that 95% of the worlds computers will be =
infected by this or is this just another attempt of yours to distract =
attention from your false and bogus claims?

           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 =
computers" is just more of your typical nonsense.

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

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

= us 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

               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 =
