Only mentions IE, not any other browser. I realise MS pushed IE, but 
gee, there's a wider world out there in terms of software and they 
admit it's a Windows XP onwards problem. Does it affect other 
browsers or not? By this 'fix it' article, you don't know. Can any 
linkers shed light?

sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
