So, the vulnerability will hit Windows Update later today? How do they know? (Other than the fact that Microsoft is running security at the Windows Update site, of course.)

That assumes I remember to run Windows Update... Why do I have to do it myself Microsoft! I want automatic and forceful patch downloading and installation!
Second post:
I use Windows Update religiously and do not have the auto update feature running
Are you an idiot? Seriously.

Ah, once again, "Security Zones" rears its ugly head. Wasn't integrating the browser into the operating system a brilliant move?
Ah, once again, the assumption that users are using Web-based apps in a trusted environment such as the office LAN, rather than the Real World(tm), rears its ugly head. Services listening on 135? 137? 139? 445? 5000? But how will you share files, printers? Doesn't everyone want to share every file with every other user on their network segment? Doesn't everyone want to automatically sniff out and configure their machine to work with every network-attached peripheral?
This isn't chocolate and peanut butter. Executables and Web Content are not two great tastes that taste great together. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
Security "zones" are one of the dumbest fucking ideas ever to come down the pipe.

Dear Microsoft, (Score:5, Funny)
I am writing concerning downloading the most recent Windows Updates. I am unable to obtain them as your site requires IE, and the government recently suggested that users cease use of IE.
Please help!
