    New win.xp critical update

    A security issue has been identified in Microsoft Windows that could allow an attacker to see information in your computer’s memory over a network. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.
    Not as bad as MSBlaster or anything like that, and it doesnt look like it can write to memory, but reading from it is bad enough

    Get patched up

    Wow, according to M$'s page, its been out 3 days and only 45 separate (non windows update) downloads have been done on this file! Cant be right, surely? I thought plenty of peeps downloaded the patches individually?

    I download them from Windows Update Catalog but then thats only cause I am on ISDn so 40MB of patches on a clean install is an arse
