The article I linked was specifically about Microsoft's response to the problem as a marketing issue (beyond that which was written about earlier), and the information in it post-dates that which you posted.
With a link [link|http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/internet/08/13/microsoft.security.ap/index.html|here].
Of course you included a later and fuller response. But I consider that more of an update on the story than a different one. YMMV (and apparently does). :-)
Cheers, Ben
