Subject: Database servers on XP and the curious flaw

While it still may not be "millions of people" several products come
bundled with the desktop edition of SQL Server 2000, and I'm sure many
will come with SQL Server 2005 Express.  As far as I can tell by reading
the paper (but not testing it myself) these are probably vulnerable as
well if the configuration allows the guest account access to the database.
