Microsoft News Update
Microsoft news of the past few days: Media Player 9 is the subject of a few articles, including one on its integrated digital restrictions and one on changes in its privacy options. Microsoft is releasing certain API's, and is releasing a service pack for Windows XP, under the requirements of its antitrust settlement with the Federal Gov't. On the downside, code to crash any modern Windows machine with NetBIOS enabled is now floating around the net, and there's been more publicity of the vulnerabilities in Microsoft IIS/SSL.
Here's a box running IIS that appears to be having some security issues.
If you want to get Microsoft to fix something, you don't just say it exists. Thats been proven before. Don't you remember them being told that their OS has holes and them denying the holes existed?
If anything this will get their eyes open on the hole.

I would not have check the link otherwise.
Michael posts crap like this all the time. I am not really suprised that it'd be him to do this.
Ogg streams are supposedly better than wma at the same bitrate. You can test for yourself here.
