It's this bit that gets me:-

'A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to 

correct the problem described in this article and should be applied only to 

systems experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional 

testing at a later time, to further ensure product quality. Therefore, if 

you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that 

you wait for the next Windows 2000 service pack that contains this fix.'


I guess this would bother me, but then, I get bothered when I can't have 
'r00t' as a password ;-)
