MicroSlop’s latest “quickie”

have you seen this security e-mail from MS,
From: Microsoft .NET Passport

Subject:Urgent Browser Security Notice ? Immediate Action Recommended

MS goes on to say Passport members have to update to IE5.5 -6.0, but digging into the FAQ, we find the following:

Q:I’ve heard that IE 5.01 is not affected by the original cookie handling vulnerability, is that true?

While IE 5.01 is outside of hotfix support, it has been tested and found to be unaffected by this vulnerability in all versions (gold, SP1, and SP2)

Is this another case of MS trying to scare the gullible masses into upgrading to IE6.0, sure looks like it to me.
