Urb, if you read them cafeully, you will see that most of them are NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN... Someone is reading code and looking for little tiny chinks in the armour. This isn't real world stuff - and as a result most of them could never be used as an exploit by a virus writer. These are people working to try to make microsoft look bad, not to try to fix anything. IMHO.

Microsoft writes some sloppy code. Having millions of hackers looking at it every day looking for holes only makes it more likely that they find them.

Cleo: Mac G4s with OS 9.2 ... it's a real pro-mac school (one of the camera class teachers yesterday went on for about 20 minutes... sort of like going to someone else's church, I guess!). We'll see. They are all pumped on the G5... hope for Apple's sake that they finally hit a home run...
