    One hole down, many to go

    Don't know if it's been posted already:

    Microsoft Patches ' Critical ' Java Hole

    Slightly more secure now?

    Cheers,

    Just want to make sure. Does this include Windows XP too?

    From the full article at PCWorld:

    Microsoft is also working to update the JVM it makes available for download for the Windows XP operating system.

    Following a legal dispute with Java creator Sun Microsystems, Microsoft chose not to include a JVM with Windows XP, but computer makers such as Dell and Compaq preload the software for users on new machines.
    So if you added the JVM or you got XP preloaded from Dell or Compaq (or others), yes, XP is also affected.

    Cheers,
