Getting back to security problems with SP2.  How about the publishing of the
specifications for the new Firewall/Av interface.  These specs are public and
there have already been published methods of spoofing the settings to show that
the Av program is up to date when it isn't.

This is like the bank leaving the combination to the safe taped next to the dial
expecting their other "security measures" to protect it.
