Doesn't seem too bad on a first skim apart from some older hardware.
I had to laugh at the "Conclusions". They are anything but as far as scientific papers should be written but obviously there are huge commercial aspects at stake.

To be fair to MS, This security bug was not of their own causing (for once). This is the most open I have ever seen them be on a bug report...
I am being fairly complementary to them as they do appear to have done everything possible this time. Normally I do not even waste time on them as I really don't like MS as a company nor their software.

Indeed, I feel sorry for the companies unwittingly caught up in this.

More than toes wet now!
And MS have just pulled the updates for machines with AMD CPU's as it could possibly brick them!
