So far, the Russians don't care.

Everyone knows that a great deal of the bad stuff that's designed to cripple systems comes out of Russia. Why is it that their gov't does absolutely nothing about it. It's kind of like China "pretenting" to stop the manufacturing and sale counterfeit products. It's not happening.

The Russian gov't doesn't care about it.

Microsoft sells this exploit for under $300.00, to anyone, on a daily basis.

$150 for XP Pro gets you thousands of gaping security bugs, application hangs and generally unusable garbageware. Thanks Bill you're such a buddy.
