I noticed this yesterday and removed their servers from our rotation for our internal LAN to prevent malware issues. I reported the issue to both their tech support line, and abuse E-mail address and have yet to receive a helpful response a day later. Does anyone out there have experience with getting your ISP to take these reports seriously?

Anyone want to take a stab at what they are going to do next? I personally hope Peter re-enacts the famous Windows USB demonstration...

I honestly don't see anything wrong with this. The people supporting the PCs still have control of the software running on them. If you don't want to have to support XP, then you just use all software that is Windows 7 compatible. If something you absolutely need isn't compatible, then you still have to run XP one way or another.

This simply provides more options to admins, and there's nothing bad about that.
