This situation is fairly limited in the number of customers who have reported it, but we wanted to make sure people were aware we had guidance on it. We're still keeping an eye out for public exploit code for MS05-051 and have not seen any as yet. We'll be watching through the weekend, so if anything changes that you need to know about we'll update you.
