It makes you wonder...

...how long a fix would take if the exploit had not been made public. At least now we get a chance to see how fast Microsoft can fix things.

Re: It makes you wonder...

This is what I wonder. What is the incentive to delay making a patch for a problem, known or unknown?

It's already been fixed in SP2. And considering the fact that SP2 is coming out this year, I'll have to disagree with you.

Re: It makes you wonder...

Already there. In fact, the first time I got one of the scam emails and clicked the link trying to fish it out, I thought it was so blatently obvious (because I could see the whole url) that I thought only a moron would fall for it.

A month or so later I saw the scheme behind it posted here and felt bad for all the other uneducated folks out there...
