Why last week's big Windows security hole is nothing more than technology press hot air. "Windows XP Kills Dog, Steals Toaster" That's the next headline I'm expecting to read after wallowing through a week of technology press misreporting about the latest security issue in Windows XP -- an "issue" that's really nothing of the sort. At the center of this shameful tempest in a teapot is the Windows Recovery Console (RC), which by design allows you to boot up a damaged system and access supported file systems like FAT and NTFS.
