Dick, I appreciate Microsoft's problem. Keeping their source code with regard to the TCP/IP stack secretive, doesn't seem to speed solution, though I am sure it meshes nicely with their sense of owning everything.

Having so many users requires massive testing, I'm sure. But they're making the money off it, so I think it's their responsibility to be on the hook for getting it fixed - fast. They want to be the monopoly though so they should take care of it or ask for help by making it more open. I just hope they don't sit around and make excuses for why it's so difficult.

Microsoft put out a patch this afternoon. Now it's wait-n-see if the hacker(s) find a way around it.
