Well is Steve Gibson an employee of Microsoft? As far as my simple
google search..no, but that is kinda beside the point. I haven't listen
to the MP3 but it would seem that if Gibson stated what you said, then
he was misformed, like many people were during that time. WSJ posted a
message about the new "Metasploit" virus. They confused the new
metasploit attack module and its use in a virus...while the metasploit
itself is a tool and a pretty good one. My point is that misinformation
was pretty big on the WMF event and it isn't suprising that some people
still have it wrong.

Of course, I know what I know from what I read...not sure where some of
these people are reading.. ;)
