[NTLUG:Discuss] MS XP Throw it in the trash!

[Steve Jackson]

Not surprising that a MS related security hole has been discovered, but this
one hardly warrants the over-emphatic subject line you've attached to the
story.  While Passport may be insecure (and have other problems) this really
has no direct effect on the security of XP.  If you want Linux to make
progress on the desktop then make some contributions to the usability and
stability of user class apps, instead of trying to "frighten" people away
from XP.  Anyone used XP yet?  I have, and so far so good.

More MS security problems, looks like the hackers are going to have fun
with this one.
