	Perhaps you could post proof that the 03-040 problem was what 
really affected Valve. I have yet to see any details, but a lot 
of speculation. Even Newell was speculating: "Our speculation is 
that these were done via a buffer overflow in Outlook's preview 
pane."
	Um...how many Outlook vulnerabilities have there been? Does 
Newell know the difference been Outlook and Outlook Express?

last MS problem and nobody will ask for the details."
