Richard,

Here's a take on this issue from a very well-respected security guru:

Unfortunately, most of the press about this escapade has centered around Gibson's accusations against Microsoft. He claims that Windows XP will make this much worse, and Microsoft has responded with its typical press propaganda. That's a pity, though, because I think Microsoft is mostly right here. It's just not true that you can't spoof Internet packets with current versions of Windows. It's not easy, but it's not impossible. Yes, Windows XP will make it worse. But as Gibson points out, it's amazingly bad right now.
