Re: Anyone go to ShmooCon?

Yes, ShmooCon was good.

While I understood what Simple Nomand meant when he said this during  
his preso, it was a particularly inept phrase to use, because of the  
sensationalism and fear it will cause amongst uneducated users.

He started out the talk noting how this was a lame kind of thing, and  
that Microsoft are fixing it in an upcoming patch.  It is a common  
phenomenon, however.
