re:remote code exec in network stack
Please DO publish it, especially if it affects the WinXP bits not patched by the POSReady hack edition fixes... As i see it, it's better for WinXP to suffer a swift short death than a prolonged slow death, plagued by stealth infections.
Most admins that i know are prepared to migrate WinXP company computers to either Win7 or Linux, but are stopped by crazy fiscal policies and crap management decisions involving risk-vs-cost analysis.
Any increase of the risk in using WinXP is useful in helping to trash it out together with some of the ANCIENT computers it's running on. We still have some systems over here that have 256 or 384 MB of RAM memory (SDRAM PC100) that run WinXP. I would looove to be able to get rid of these slow-as-molasses tin cans but management won't let me trash them, and i have to maintain them because they still technically work even if they are more than 10 years old.
