    And it won't come from Automatic Updates. You gotta know about it and go
    find the workaround.

    Or roughly translated, MS see file sharing as a threat to their evil empire
    and wish to discourage it.

    Again, only the preview releases of Win7 are affected, not the final release
    which is already out as a 90 day trial :)

    Vista is affected. Don't worry, there will be a few for Windows 7 and
    they will appear with great regularity.

    Been running Windows forever and never have had any issues due to
    vulnerabilities or viruses by just asserting common sense when it comes to
    computing :)

    The fact that there are hundreds of thousands of Windows machines in
    netbots tells me that most people don't have your "common sense". The
    fact that 3 out of 5 windows boxes are infected is a clear sign as well.

    A man is bringing a Windows box over here in a few minutes and it's
    chock full of malware.

    NOW, had all these people who lack your "common sense" were to use
    Linux, none of them would be infected.

    See the difference, sport?

    Scaremongering again! Gheeze! I bet your the life and soul at a party!

    Windows 7 is out in October. I and many many others will be buying it. Get
    over it and get yourself a life, before it's too late!

    Oh and sport, 'I ain't worried'.

    So you buy Windows to play games on, and when you finish playing your game,
    you restart your PC and boot into Ubuntu to do everything else? What if you
    decide to play a game again 10 minutes later, another reboot into Windows?

    Snipped from the Linux vulnerabilities page just yesterday (Sept 21). One of many
    and more that in Vista and XP combined

    <snip>
    Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Ubuntu, which could be exploited by
    attackers to compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by errors in
    OpenEXR. For additional information, see : VUPEN/ADV-2009-2035
