Once again, they are trying to patch the attack vector used instead of the
core IE problem itself (which is directly related to it being tied into the
OS level). I was once very pro-microsoft SMS Admin for my company but it is
getting out of hand. 

If you patch a hole, instead of a vector, then L33tPrincess wouldn't be able
to add a couple of lines to the code and change the vector to make the
exploit workable in like 10 mins.

It is like they are throwing the media and the mass public trash "fix" to
make them happy while people like us shake our heads at what the public
doesn't know. The multiple patches for the same problem with different MS
numbers, it is a sad thing.

The fun is MS says we fixed "shell" but it's still active for me.
