>>Regardless of "a LOT of Windows 2000 out there...", these companies
weren't bitten the same day the initial exploit was released.  6 days
is plenty of time to have tested compatibility and to distribute the
patch.<<

How can you allow a vendor to take 6 months to a year to release a patch and
then say 6 days is plenty of time to test and patch?

You know, I was sure when MS announced there would be 6 patches for august
that one of them would be one of these
http://www.eeye.com/html/research/upcoming/index.html but I guess not... 141
days and counting, and it will get released when MS hears that someone has
written and released an exploit for it, then of course all of us have 6 days
to live..
