Microsoft includes XP users in Internet Explorer fix

Microsoft has said users of its Windows XP operating system will also get the security update it has issued to fix a flaw in the Internet Explorer browser.
It issued the update on Thursday to fix a bug that let hackers gain access and user rights to computers.
Microsoft ended support for Windows XP earlier this month, ceasing to issue bug fixes or security updates for it.

I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

    I've just installed it! :) Unfortunately it won't be much use as I rarely use IE :( but I'm sticking with XP anyway!
