True but noone has only the O/S on a machine, there are always third party apps installed so it shouldn't matter if the hack came via one of these.

I was quite surprised that Vista took 3 days.

Malware coders don't care either way unfortunately!! :p

654903 2008-04-01 03:51:00 Hmm, guess I shoulda included an "exactly" after the "what". Be that as it may, your explanation, terse as it was, is probably 100% correct. ;)

It gives me the willies thinking what might have happened had they included XP.
