Tested Software: Affected Software: * Microsoft Windows 2000, Service Pack 2 * Microsoft Windows 2000, Service Pack 3, Service Pack 4 * Microsoft Windows XP Gold, Service Pack 1 * Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition * Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition Version 2003 * Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Software Not Affected: * Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition * Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64-bit Edition * Linux - All
Untested Software: * SCO - No One Uses It So We Couldn't Test
Technical Description: A security vulnerability exists in the Remote Control Service that could allow arbitrary code execution on an affected system. The vulnerability results because the Messenger Service does not properly validate the length of a message before passing it to the allocated buffer.
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could be easily drive remote controlled cars in to grandmothers or small children. This has been seen in the wild but has been limited to chasing cats.
The one article you refer to was the installation crashing which uses Install Shield. If the installation was crashing, it is POSSIBLE there was another issue on that machine.
As for me, it installed fine and works great. I haven't purchased any tracks but I'm happy with the $10 a month for unlimited downloads and playback.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company also said it has sold more than 1 million songs in that same time, a significant increase from the typical rate of 500,000 or 600,000 songs the company had been selling in recent weeks.
Actually Adobe products on the mac phone home and I was not notified prior to purchase. I own PS for Mac so i wasn't terribly concerned, just annoyed enough finding out after the fact that i won't be purchasing any upgrades.
I don't do a fresh install but I keep a Ghost image of my Windows + SP1 + Office on hand to put back on my hard disk whenever windows feels 'dirty'... which is most of the time.

Do you not care about your business? Try Eudora, because friends don't let friends use Outlook.
As for zero trust for napster, thats great, this isn't Napster, nor is it Napster 2.0.

Not to worry, if X10 goes after X11 we have prior art in the form of X2.
EDIT:
At least home users of Linux can take solace in knowing that they don't have to pay up yet^H^H^Hever.
I just hope they don't go after the X11 folks. :)

The only way that will be accurate is if it is placed on the Windows splash screen.
I remember when this concept was fiction in the IBM commercial in a small Italian (?) town using a cell to pay for a pop from a machine.

>> wonder if it has sound outputs?
Yes, how else would it connect to the speaks?

Not even that much... Between 400,000 to 500,000 to Windows users.

>> Windows iTunes Sells A Million Songs In 3.5 Days
Incorrect.
Fact: There were 1 million downloads of iTunes for Windows.
Fact: Between Windows and Mac there were one million songs in 3.5 days.

I just cancelled my Royal Bank visa and closed my accounts, and while it may not matter to them, it matters to me.

Yes, you can download the patch by clicking here.
It is supposed to be able to transfer to portable players if it's a purchased music file, but I don't have one to test it with.
Although it doesn't work with my Napster WMAs, I launched iTunes and it had 3 items under 'shared playlist' with hundreds of audio files.
:)
Turns out it's picking up iTunes playlists from MACs on our network... that is kinda neat.

Purchase track for 99 cents.
Burn to CD. (or CD-RW so you don't waste them)
Rip back to MP3.
I don't do a fresh install but I keep a Ghost image of my Windows + SP1 + Office on hand to put back on my hard disk whenever windows feels 'dirty'... which is most of the time.
But when you 'buy' a track, although in WMA you can burn it to CD. You can then rip it back from CD. Use a CD-RW if you don't want to waste CDs.
Unfortunately the record companies have a bit more control then Napster/Roxio would like in terms of selection.

Napster, like iTunes, offers a $9.99 for the entire album.
The $10 a month for unlimited downloads and listening (so as long as you keep subscribing) isn't too terrible either.
