The good news this time is that the group that found the reported vulnerabilities has only reported their findings to MS. Beats letting the bad guys know where to look for an opening.

They could put the "Best" security software on a computer and someone would eventually find a way to hack it. It doesn't matter what company it is, if you surf the internet on a daily basis just be prepared if an attack occurs because the odds that it could.

SP2 IE doesn't have to worry about ActiveX either unless you allow it to activate. i say microsoft has already gone a long way to browser security.

It really shouldn't come as a surprise. Every single OS on the planet has vulnerabilities, and every OS to come will too. It's really up to the user to be safe.
