Isn't that AMAZING Scott ! It was like when Windows XP Pro was touted as
their first offering under the "Trustworthy Computer Initiative" (that was
supposed to herald their taking this seriously...). It was within hours that
it was out, hackers had posted that if you took a Windows 2000 Pro CD and
stuck it in a Windows XP Pro PC, with Admin and User passwords at the max
length, etc. and booted up, you had FULL control of the PC - to delete, move
copy, etc. Granted, the PC had to be bootable from CD but how many folks are
actually locking THAT down ? Unreal...
