TechSpot - The critical flaw that was discovered last week regarding animated cursors at first went with nothing more than a comment in passing from Microsoft. They've changed their tune dramatically now and are quickly moving to provide an emergency patch. This is rare for Microsoft, though not unheard of, whom have been known to delay even critical fixes until enough time has passed for more testing and patch week rolls around. Responding to reports of widespread abuse, Microsoft is planning the emergency patch for tomorrow.
