yeah, its an old libretto ct100 (those videocassette sized ones), i use it as a paperweight

They say it effects Windows Vista, then in the next breath it says Vista users with IE7 are *not* affected.
Yeah, its a bit odd, but on closer reading they are actually quotes from different sources, it says MS say theres a possible problem with vista, but the security firms are saying its ok with V+IE7, go figure :/
It may mean that ie7 is safe as long as you have all the default security stuff enabled. Some less security concious people turn this stuff off, because something wont work or gets 'annoying messages' on their favorite teenage chat / dating site (or some such adware infested site).

Any excuse for a cheap shot at MS, if you ask me.
How? the bbc are only reporting what MS said themselves. Unless theyre in to cheap shooting themselves now.
