  To be honest, I don't think it's a very serious issue.  MSMQ isn't 
terribly widely deployed, the bug has already been fixed for at least one 
SP, and it seems easy to filter at the border.  AFAIR MSMQ isn't installed 
by default on w2k, not even server versions, so it's something that only 
people who have deliberately configured it into their systems will have 
running.
