Dear Geo, Thank you for the challenge, Geo. Your trying to get the discussion in a direction that doesn't serve the purpose of the finding, nor would it "proof" anything. I welcome your task though I'd like you to know that I don't think I have to proof anything to you. However if you pay enough I might invest some time ;) Again Geo, NOBODY has said that this is a vulnerability OF IE7 ITSELF we said the handler that IE7 installs is broken. I honestly think we have discussed the problem itself enough, it's up to Microsoft now to either rethink their position or just hold on to their position.
