There is, as you know, a new(ly discovered) security hole in MSFTs flagship product.

Patch can be found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms03-039.asp

..and to see the sense of humor that MSFT has, they have on their site this message:

Why We Are Issuing This Update
A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise a computer running Microsoft® Windows® and gain complete control over it. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft.



followed by:

Products Affected by This Update
Windows NT® 4.0
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Windows Server™ 2003


...and then follow it with this punch line:

Products Not Affected by This Update
Windows Millennium (Windows Me)
Note Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), and Windows 95 also are not affected by this issue. However, these products are no longer supported. Users of these products are strongly encouraged to upgrade to later versions.



all emphasis mine...

PLEASE give me a trusted computer infrastructure
