You're CISSP, GSEC,MCSE+I,CNE, and CCDA and you actually think this is a real patch from Microsoft?  

  I doubt if anyone will believe that you earned those premium certs after reading this last message from you....

  Anybody else get this?  Looks legit, originating address is from msnbc.com.  But can't believe even Microsoft would be this stupid after the rash of trojan-attached "patch announcements" lately.  Plus all security people have been saying that Microsoft would never email a patch out.  Or are they thinking, "Send this out so all the stupid people will click on this before they click on a real trojan?
