Who the hell figures this stuff out....do people litterally have nothing better to do than to try to exploit new software. I know that I am a bit of a hypocrite saying this, since I enjoy playing with code, but COME ON!!

Maybe they are trying to expose Microsoft for being poor programmers, but if they feel they are so much better, maybe they should join Microsoft themselves. But thanks for the update iago, makes me wish I still had Windows 98 Second Edition, it never let me down. :(

Would you prefer that only the people who want to exploit this for criminal mischief / personal gain do this kind of research?  It's better that nonmalicious entities are also out there finding this stuff.

Looking for holes in code is fun, and at the same time it's something not many people can do well, and you can get paid good for doing it, too.
