I was the one who made the statement and it was "pretty much any
windows = box connected to the internet". Are you now trying to tell
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
a push = issue in my book, the fact that you think only one exploit at a
time = should be used speaks volumes about your hacking mentality.

         George's false claim was in regard to eeye's reported claims.  =
