What are the odds of those flaws being used against me
Um slim and none. Most of this crap is overblown. Supposedly XP is so unsecure. No one has ever taken over my computer using any of these alarmist exploits they have announced over the years.

I bet you can find many people that can find ways of breaking out of the most secure maximum security prisons in the US. I'm not expecting a rash of breakouts anytime soon.

Are you sitting behind a router doing NAT? I think that's a major part of defense -- I'm willing to bet most compromised systems are the result of a direct modem-to-Internet connection. Just as bad as leaving a machine in the DMZ in your router settings.
