Without the public embrassment Mircosoft would not fix ANY of their security holes. People we are two week to a month away from a total meltdown of all Windows NT, 2000, XP system due to the fact that Microsoft can not even do a printf command right.

I am Sisyphus as it is my job to provide firewall security for my clients. How in the name of the unholy do I stop a printf command. When some body figures out how to install this lovely little bomb in your startup group, you are toasted and so is your system.

Words fail convey my contempt for that company. Just how big of a "KICK ME HARD" sign do you have to put on people before they change their ways?

It is going to be one hell of a Christmas!!
