This a clip from the above link:

"Microsoft made a really good effort to work with us and get the patch ready in a coordinated way," he said. "Microsoft understands you're never going to be perfect; you have to have a mechanism in place to react to these things quickly and comprehensively when they happen."

Maiffret predicted hackers would develop and release tools to exploit the UPnP vulnerability within a week or two. But he said the buffer overflow flaw was so technically complex that attacks based on it were unlikely to become widespread. "I think the people skilled enough to exploit this will keep the exploit to themselves," he said. (yea right......NOT)

XP just came out and already there are ways to completely compromise the "most secure" OS microsoft ever made. Microsoft can keep their crap. Im running something else. No longer will I stand up and question if they have changed their ways.
