A Vista Exploit Discovered in the Wild?

It's amazing that announcements of exploits for Vista are "news" when you consider that they seemed like a daily occurrence for XP. So now there's another FUD spinner going on to freak out everyone about using Vista. Ooooh, Vista... If you install it, your house will burn down. Markets will crash. Earthquakes will destroy entire cities. People will starve.  Pa-leeeez.

Just patch it and shut up. Oh, and if you have any common sense at all, you'll avoid opening stupid "greeting card" emails, Nigerian credit scams, and PayPal account verification notices, not to mention steering clear of Warez and Porn sites. If you stick to things that are safe you're probably going to be safe as well. It's like life in general. If you drive your Lexus into the wrong part of town at the wrong time of day (night), you're probably increasing your chances of something bad happening to you.

Dave's equation once again: WSUS + Using-WSUS = less crap to deal with
