Microsoft Says, Don't Press the F1 Key In XP

I guess there's a bug in XP that lets a bad guy take over your computer.  They have to send you a dialog box that says something like "Computer error - hit your F1 key".

So Don't hit the F1 key in XP ( especially if your computer tells you to ).  

Ugh.  Well, I've realized a while ago that Windows 7 ( Or Mac or Linux ) has replaced XP ( or should for everybody ), and Microsoft might make it happen faster, even unintentionally, with things like this.  How fast will they fix it?  Will there be some subtle ( or not-so-subtle ) nudges to change?  Maybe it's time to go for a Mac? 

 Apropos of nothing in particular, Did you know there's an expression called The Sony Timer?

Oh I just got a Sony Blue-Ray BDP-460 (w00t!), and an Optoma HD-20 projector (Double W00t!)
