Here's a little paraphrase from a story I read on MSNBC about Microsoft
patching the latest (in a series of a dozen or so) holes in IE5:
Microsoft says:
1) We found a hole in IE 5 involving active scripting.
2) As a workaround, disable active scripting.
3) When we release a patch, we'll make it available on
windowsupdate.microsoft.com (sidebar: WHY does it take them more than a
couple hours to release a patch!?)
4) You'll need active scripting enabled to get the patch.
#1 greatest oxymoron of all time: "MICROSOFT WORKS."
