Just as I start using something really cool, something bad happens. I've been using it since they made it free to call phone numbers :).

Once again, Joris...

The Skype client is offered on several platforms, but only one
platform is affected by this bug. Guess which one it is? (Hint: It
isn't Mac OS X, Linux, or Pocket PC.)

Not identifying the affected platform is another chapter in Mr.
Evers ongoing saga of reporting errors and oversights. For
example, this May 12th article, http://news.com.com/Apple
+flaws+put+both+Macs+and+PCs+at+risk/
2100-1002_3-6071833.html contained multiple errors,
including misquoting Apple's security advisory bulletin.

One again, Mr Evers, I look forward to the day when I don't find
myself having to double-check your articles for accuracy, or,
based on your reporting, waste my time checking websites such
as Skype for security updates that I do not need.
