The problem is that nobody RUNS the latest versions of Windows and Office. Windows 2000 is the defacto Windows standard for us and there are new vulnerabilities every day it seems. Office 2000 is likewise the standard. Until 2005 rolls around I don't see Windows XP or Windows 2003 being anywhere other than extremely early adopters' machines.
Yep, I'm still running woody without and have yet to patch it since release date(about the same time windows 2000 came out! concidence!) hmm strange that Checking bugtraq there seems to be a FEW THOUSANDS VUNERABLITIES BY NOW FOR IT.
your thinking is bloody moronoic, it's like saying the problem is most linux users that don't know linux are running such old linux verisons without shadow password support. Can you imagine these people that never ever upgrade thier windows patch surviving in a linux enviroment?
please people, let's at least be realistic
