Aunty regrets any confusion which may have been caused. It was anticipated that anyone reading Aunty's post about the problem would naturally follow the link in that post to the Microsoft site, where they would see the full list of affected and unaffected software, and thus not "waste inordinate amounts of time investigating and trying to download unnecessary patches, clogging the MS servers, etc.". But perhaps Aunty was assuming too much intelligence on the part of her gentle readers. Naaaah.

You imply that Windows XP is at risk in Lockergnome and blog versions of your message. However your terminology is not accurate. MS does NOT refer to their Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 as Windows XP 2003. However, you do, and by doing so, unnesessarily cause alarm and panic in the millions of users of the 32bit Windows XP who might think that their systems are at risk, and waste inordinate amounts of time investigating and trying to download unnecessary patches, clogging the MS servers etc. Lets not panic the masses shall we, it may be more of a problem than the one you are trying to fix.
