      How do you mean bad news? Just another in a long series of security holes. My systems were all automatically patched this morning. Still worth noting for all the people who don't autoupdate.

        That's why I don't use MS Virtual Machine, but JVM provided by SUN Microsystems!

          After all, the .NET frmwk is a replacement of the JVM, so it's not surprising to see MS doing all sort of business this way...

            Um, it isn't like SUN has a better track record. Sun JVM (Java Virtual Machine) Issue[^] Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

                Ditto. But I did rebuild a site of mine that used PostNuke and am now just using very basic PHP content stuff. I just didn't have the time to keep up with all the security alearts.
