This affects all versions of Windows (98, ME etc.), not just XP and 2000 as mentioned in the above email, however Microsoft have currently only made a fix for those operating systems. Apparently they'll be releasing fixes for the other systems in time.

Bruce might like to put this thread up as a sticky for a while so that others are reminded to get their updates done.
