Wow, I had no idea this even happened. I found a story at MSNBC that had a funny comment I'd like to point out and laugh at. There has been a patch to fix the problem since July, but the article said that it was too difficult do install and many were waiting for a service pack to do it automatically.
That's the funniest thing! I've never heard of a sysadmin who was afraid to mess with system files. They typically love to geek around with everything just for fun. So quit blaming Microsoft for everything. It just waters down the valid reasons why we all hate MS.
