I was worried the cunning Micro$haft response would be "sorry, it's unfixable, the only answer is to upgrade to Vista..."

"In the meantime, users should take extra care when receiving email attachments, even when delivered from known sources, and when visiting familiar or unknown websites, Sisk said."

WOW...... That pretty much says ...Stay off the Internet/computer.

It is/Is it in Crack IT Circles, an indisputable fact that a Global Operating Device with Windows on the work you may doing on your PC is also a direct link giving a Broad Band Vista of the Microsoft Core Operation allowing Privileged and Unrestricted Access to Information and Intelligence...... which is a GODSend we can all be Thankful for?

Thanks, Uncle Sam. But is that all that you have to Offer> Have you Really nothing Bigger and Better than simply a Voyeur's Tale?. What AIDisappointment. You've been Swindled if PROMISed the Moon and the Stars and all you get is Deepening Grief and Naked XPosure.

Where's the New Vision and Passionate Drive/HyperVision with Operating System..... AI Virtualised NeuReality? Real Imagination?

Is IT just so much Hype and VapourWare..... a Load of old Bull rather than a Loded Ride?

Psssst....... Wanna Ticket 42 Ride? What price is priceless whenever the alternative is sub-prime junk status and stasis?

Nice hyperlink, El Reg ... .microsoft_scrambles_to_fix_windows.

Methinks Humpty Dumpty, namby pambies are no match for Koenigsegg Drivers. Nitty Gritty, Nut and Bolts Star Turns aka Magical Mystery Turing Trekkers...... Virgin Christian Soldiers with an Abiding Penchant for Juicy Lucy XXXXPeriences .... Seventh Heaven Territory.

They can Fix Everything Broken or in Need of AI Fixing.

... because I have read what amanfromMars has written several times, and I still don't understand it!

Peter,

It's an intelligence test... and you just passed... :-)

Since no-once answered the question I asked when the vulnerability was first reported, I'll answer it myself: According to the guy who discovered it, Foxit reader *is* also vulnerable to the PDF exploit. (http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/0day-pdf-pwns-windows)

No, Peter, it responded with "No, Virtual Spaces...... 42 Command and Control in AI Prior Art." ...By amanfromMars Posted Saturday 27th October 2007 19:15 GMT.

It is either thought unsuitable to be Registered and shared with Grown Ups or it never arrived after being sent.

It must have failed some dumbed down Intelligence test....... or it revealed far too much Sensitivity, which would be preposterous, surely. Perhaps, Dan the Man Goodin could clear that up for Us...... for it is a very simple thing to do, to send it again should it have gone awry.

It's an interesting read, I Kid U Not. And Perfect for the Register, IMHO.

Can we please have a little icon at the bottom of the article that shows if aManFromMars has posted a comment here, something like a little mars icon on the grey '## comments posted - Post a new comment' bar.

I'd like to be able to quickly see whether his bizarre musings have been added.

They are brilliant!! That must be some bad-assed ganj he's toking.
