| released on the Internet designed to kick the crutch of the ageing
| operating system.
|

| print request application "Workstation Service". The flaw can be
| exploited remotely without any user interaction.

| 
| Microsoft has released a patch for the operating system using
| security bulletin MS06-070. This is despite saying that it had
| given up on Windows 2000 and would not make any more security
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| fixes for it.
