Apparently some folks are behind on their patches. It's a pity that leaves them so exposed. BTW, why do you think people don't apply patches? Might they have been led to believe that applying them is optional? Are they just uninformed, stupid or lazy? Might it be that the Windows patch process is convoluted and a pain in the *ss, requiring multiple reboots and reconnections to the Internet? Or that the experience with patches is that they introduce more problems (i.e. "the Devil you know" logic)? JMHO. Charles Tutt (TM)
