microsoft removed it, but that doesn't mean he was right.

Last I checked, the internet did not end while XP had raw sockets, and windows server retains this capability.

Responding to the public hysteria; they couldn't take their chances, they would have been crucified if even a single incident was reported, because they had "forewarning".

Steve Gibson did to raw-sockets what Jenny McCarthy did to vaccines.
