Windows Media Player Flaws Found

preacher:
Big surprise, Windows Media Player has three security flaws in it. Found this story at
http://www.salon.com/tech/wire/2002/06/27/ms_security/index.html

patches for the flaws can be found at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-032.asp

Calum:
hmmm. as far as i know, rival media player for windows "DivX Player" does not have flaws as drastic as winblows mediocre player, due to not having a heap of undocumented internet stuff designed to intrude upon your privacy. You can download it at www.divx.com

edit - it is unclear to me, does this only affect windows XP? or will it affect, for example winblows mediocre player 6.4 and 7.1 for windows 98 as well?
