You should have added, no word from MS yet on this bug, rapid response I think was one of open source's benefits....

I love how fast patches come out for Linux or GPL'd apps. Since I use Konqueror sometimes I'll be downloading this.

MS will prolly have a fix for IE as a critical update that you must download from Windows Update and you must agree to an obnoxiously long EULA just to download it(a product you already have), in about 2 weeks(maybe).

Uh-huh. And the patch that was quickly put forth (without extensive testing) will break other things, which will require a hasty patch, which will break yet other stuff, which will. . .
