Not that big of a deal for desktop users (Score 2, Insightful)

I'm going to pass on this patch, these vulnerabilities are hardly what I would call 'critical' for an xp sp2 home desktop user.

• If you have XP Service Pack 2, and are behind a router, the ICMP vulernability is a non-issue. Your router responds to pings, not your computer.
• If you use Mozilla Firefox, the IE vulnerability is a non-issue as well.
• The Exchange vulnerability is a non-issue for desktop users.
• If you use MSN messanger, update. I don't.
• If you open other peoples word documents, update. I use Abiword, or let google translate them to html.
