This is a real problem. It's not FUD. Microsofts choice to include full IP stack capabilities will make the problem worse, but I do not blame their IP stack for this like Mr Gibson does though.

No, their stack's not the root of the problem -- all the rest of their OS is (and of course in particular the security model, or lack thereof). -- Greg A. Woods +1 416 218-0098 VE3TCP <gwoods@acm.org> <woods@robohack.ca> Planix, Inc. <woods@planix.com>; Secrets of the Weird <woods@weird.com>
