Great another person that instead of discussing the issues at hand thinks that slamming and being insulting will make everyone think they have a clue. Congrats. Try actually contributing instead of just slobbering on yourself because you see a "remote SYSTEM level exploit".

Now if you want to read a little closer. It states in the article, " And though my call on this one is that we won't see any massive worm taking advantage of this particular vulnerability, ... " . He doesn't state "definitively" there will be no new worm. He simply says he does not believe there will be a massive one. I concur with the opinion that there will be no "massive" worm, especially with all the publicity. The one good thing about the fear that the informed and mis-informed press does is causes more people to take notice. Then at least things might happen faster.
