The acknowledgment of the vulnerability in Internet Explorer comes after three months of saying the burden lay with third-party software makers whose programs actually accepted the nasty payloads.

IronMan, thanks for the link. Brings to mind a song my band (Human Race) wrote back in the 80s: "Tell the Truth Right Now". It's a couple of decades later, but you're right. What amazes is that Gates & Company admitted to a problem that they themselves created.
