Likewise, older Internet Explorer versions could be vulnerable. Microsoft does not offer fixes for these older versions.

Well well well....  MS is forcing people to upgrade when they don't want to.
Basically if you don't want to be vulnerable to this hole and you must use Windows, you either have to upgrade to IE6 and get the patch or use a diferent browser.
