Wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft stole it from the mac. The code has probably changed over the years and maybe that vulnerability came up in recent code that wasn't around back then. Anyway, they didn't need to attack a computer this way back then. There were so many easier ways to attack a machine they probably just ignored this one. Besides, how do you know some super smart cracker hasn't been exploiting this and the rest of us just found out about it now? Same goes with the holes we'll discover in the future, they're here NOW and they can be exploited quietly. I remember animated cursors back in the first version of Windows 95.

HELLLOOOOOO!!!! Why hasn't this 'vulnerablity' been 'caught' until __NOW__????????????? Could be some of those 'oh so *Critical*' "patches" opened this thing up??? Don't forget that the 'US' gov has TWICE issued edicts about TWO certain "patches". Anyone, think a THIRD time is coming up?...SOON???
