JPEG Virus? Computers

Is the urban legend coming true? Microsoft products may be vulnerable to malicious JPEG files. Is anyone else besides me getting annoyed at, yet another, buffer overflow exploit? I think every programmer in the world needs to have the words "boundary conditions" stamped in permanent ink on their hands and monitors.

I can't say that I'm getting annoyed at all, but then I haven't used any ms software (except in very rare cases) for the past 6+ years. Seems like a good opportunity to abandon the land of careless programming and jump onboard the Solaris x86 bandwagon. It continues to get easier for users to be able to complete their daily tasks on Solaris x86 and Solaris Engineering continues to enhance it to work for folks in the real world.

Yo fellas, hate to rain on the MS-bashing, but Mozilla is affected by a bitmap buffer overflow problem too.

I did say "every programmer" not just Microsoft's.
