Um, yes, I VERY regularly update all software!

and no, I havnt gotten my "undies" in a twist, but its nice to know you know what your talking about

even though now you admit that Microsoft was compromised, as denied earlier
and the e-mails i have been recieving look identical to the one you posted here, only difference is it said october instead of september

nuf said on this matter, im finished, otherwise this could go on forever!!!...lol

A Denial of Service attack isnt a comprimise. If a server was compimised it would imply that it was broken into and taken down. DoS'ing a server involved overloading a server with malformed requests till it crashes, its not quite the same as hacking
