    This is also true of Solaris 7 and 8. MSIE for Solaruis does not have the
    ability to execute scripts on this platform. I am running it on two machines
    here, and neither are affected by this flaw.

    | At risk of sounding petulant, I'd like to mention something overlooked

    |   MacOS appears NOT to be vulnerable to this exploit. AFAICT, it will

    | Could someone verify the status of IE on OS X, Solaris or HP-UX?
