Didn't take long, did it?

Exploits appeared within hours for two of the bugs that Microsoft Corp. fixed Tuesday.

Microsoft's June set of security updates patched 15 separate vulnerabilities, nine of them labeled "critical," the company's most serious threat rating. Exploit code for two of the bugs -- one in Internet Explorer (IE), the other in Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 -- have been posted to the Bugtraq and Full-disclosure mailing lists by researchers.

Read your post after I did the updates - just one hour before. Makes me wonder why I bothered.

I'm running a fully patched edition of XP that I bought in 2001. Seems like I could just run that version, without the updates, and do just as well.
