Microsoft to patch 17 year old bug 

,----[ Quote ]
| Like many teens, the 17 year old bug does not 
| do much other than lounge around the hard drive 
| unable to speak. It only exists because the 
| Vole wanted users to be able to run ancient 
| programs on newer machines and had an insecure 
| app to do it.
| 
| Having first appeared in Windows NT 3.1, the 
| vulnerability has been carried over into almost 
| every version of Windows that has appeared ever 
| since.
