The WMF Exploit: More patches than a smoker

It's true.

Not content with having the "
official" Microsoft patch coming soon to a messed up PC near you, the .DLL fix, the Ilfak patch that may or may not break your printer, the "leaked" Microsoft patch that will supposedly differ from the finished version (but is in circulation anyway) and (unconfirmed) rumours of "pretend" patches laced with (you guessed it) nasty viruses, we also have this one:

The Yet Another patch! That's right, if you weren't confused enough by the multitude of fixes out there for this thing, here's another one. Only unlike the Ilfak patch which seems to co-exist with the Microsoft effort, they advise to uninstall this one before applying the Microsoft patch. What I want to see is a PC with all these suckers running on it.

Is anyone else currently thinking the same as me?
