Bring it on. I've been waiting for this since 1999 with Melissa.

Vista (and XP, and 2K) can protect themselves quite nicely, thank-you, without the security blanket-wielding protection racketeers of the 1990s.

These vendors didn't have any excuses nine years ago. They didn't have any excuses a year ago with VB100 2007, and they don't have any excuses today. Rest In Pieces.
