You people are quick. I immediately came here after I found out the update.
Really? So much for the 'Oh, we might consider bringing out a patch early if attacks increase, but so far we're only seeing limited attacks' attitude.

Yes, that's what I meant in my previous post. It is not just yesterday that my skepticism started.
MS should start on the browser, not starting to filter the Net. That is starting from the wrong end.
polonus, it's been always a part of their job. In fact, how many average users informed of this 0-day exploit? One of the considerable worst scenarios would be that MS is keeping people from information of their security flaws while the commercial hackers are exploiting them. I am not dedicatedly anti-MS but, as a user, I got tired of too much politics behind the scenes.
