Only one upgrade from windows this morning, a security upgrade for IE8. Does anyone know if this is a patch for the recently hyped vulnerability?

No worries from me, but I heard DLK was passing your way and thought that might be why you were concerned.  ;D ;D

Someone on the radio was saying that the "newly discovered vulnerability" was in IE6, not IE8.  It was only a problem because many corporate users hadn't upgraded.

Don't know who said this or what authority it has.  Anyone know if it's true?
