Someone wants to kill IE?

Just finished to read quickly this article... the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) talking about the recent IE exploits said something like this:

If you want to continue to use the Internet Explorer, we recommend setting the browser's security settings to "high", but that can impair some browsing functions. The best choice is start to consider other browsers that are not affected by the attack, such as Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape and Opera.

All against the little, dear IE...

Virtual PC problems with Fedora Core 2

Today I was starting to install Fedora Core 2 (Final Release) on my Virtual PC and, after the first boot from the ISO CD, the window that I was praying to never see has appeared me:

"An internal virtual machine error (13) has occurred."

This window appears during the installation process when Anaconda (the fedora installer) attempts to start the X server.

Terrible... I was thinking that Fedora was supported by Virtual PC. I've checked on Google to find solutions to this problem, but seems that Fedora Core 2 (Final) can't be installed under Virtual PC.

Has anyone find the same problem?

On Red Hat's BugZilla I've found these thread about this problem:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119838
and:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124251

and reading them seems to be a serious problem.  

I think that the VPC team must take the problem in consideration... Fedora Core 2 is a widespread distribution and the impossibility to use it under VPC is frustrating!

UPDATE: just tryed also to install Fedora Core 2 under VMWare... the installation go to a completion but, when you reboot the virtual machine, there's a problem at the X-server loading. Maybe tomorrow I'll check for it... now I think it's time to turn off my pc!
