The Seriousness of the Threat
Microsoft, apparently to allay the fears of webmasters across the globe, announced that the new Smart Tag technology would be removed from Windows XP (the up-and-coming uber-OS soon to be released).
Most people are spreading this news to tell everyone that the threat is gone. I wish it were so.
What most people don't know is that Office XP already supports Smart Tags. Anyone that has Office XP installed can see the tags now. As this new version of Office gets wider and wider acceptance, the seriousness of this threat will increase. Further, no one knows if IE 6.0 will recognize the tags independent of Office XP. If it does, the s$%* will hit the proverbial fan
