Re: is this something?

Korhan (and others),
  The exploit isn't that the guest account can be compromised without knowing the password, but rather that you can 
actually log in as guest which shouldn't be allowed by the default telnet server config.  If you had attempted to log 
in as "guest" you would have rec'd a message saying that "Login through Guest account not allowed".  If you then try to 
log in as \\guest, you are met with a password prompt:

<snip from your post>
Microsoft (R) Windows (TM) Version 5.00 (Build 2195)
Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Service
Telnet Server Build 5.00.99201.1
login: \\guest
password:
Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
<end snip>
