Which is my point exactly. The people who build their own PC and install the
OS can use this info. The people who are the ones who really need it are the
non-techies who buy a PC without SP2 on it in a clearance sale, or get an
older PC off a friend. Those are the ones who end up getting infected and
cause trouble for the rest of us.
