Actually newer versions of Windows are also included in the patch. Of course learning this would require one to read past the often-incorrect or often-shortsighted summaries :-P

Actually from what I see it appears to be newer versions of Windows as well...

I tried to go to the March 2012 Microsoft Security Bulletin on their website and got a 404 Error. Guess they're updating it with new info? BTW I tested the sample Ruby code that was published and the BSOD worked like a champ on a couple of my older boxes here at work. Good thing I don't use RDP on any Internet-facing hosts.

If you're anonymous then how will we recognize you? *scratches head*

Not sure about the theoretical effect of stopping, since the original theory postulates that once riding that warp bubble there's no way to stop...

Lotus Notes is still around? *crunching on my VisiCalc spreadsheet*

I had the same thing happen! My mortgage is through Citi and I kept on typing out these long "secure" messages to them and forgot about the illegal characters. Had to keep retyping. Nice sanitizing!

Pretty valid points. College is essentially intellectual exercise and not necessarily a practical (i.e. - monetary investment) exercise. I was an English major and wound up being an IT Manager the past 15+ years. A degree shows you can learn, regurgitate facts, and comform to professors' requirements. All of those years and experiences could've been replaced with a bottom rung IT A+ type of job and taking some technical certification classes...

I use VisiCalc because I'm down like that...
