    Luckily for Win7 users, lol, did not have to do anything.

    Microsoft has been aware of this exploit, and decided to reinforce its features in later versions of .NET framework.

    Brewing battle?

    This could get ugly if MS takes it as some sort of insult. As long as they don't turn our browsers into the battle ground and handle it amongst themselves (or lawyers)...
