Well then you would only be vulnerable to some of these for which =
there are no patches yet =
http://www.eeye.com/html/research/upcoming/index.html
Which ones would depend on what you have installed.

Kaiser is not 95% of computers and from what Ellen says =
virtually none of their machines have Internet access.

What do you think you can decide from their public =

you need to get over your idol worship and pay attention to =

those are published and patched

those are unpublished and as yet unpatched
Read it and decide for yourself.
