I love this:

	Microsoft Corp. said it is still trying to determine whether
	this vulnerability affects Windows 2000 and its other products.

	Most of the affected vendors have released patches.

So, most vendors have already fixed the problem, and MS still doesn't 
even know whether they *have* a problem.  What, they're "embraced & 
extended" version of Kerberos fixed the problem before anyone even 
learned of it?
