@forteller this is kind of an overreaction
1) home users are almost always behind a router which doesn't forward ports to their boxes
2) Microsoft has already released patches that fix the 0days, so if they're keeping their systems up to date (like they'd also have to do on Linux) then they're unaffected
3) the "it support guy over the phone" bit is still way easier to pull off & probably more effective for stealing bank accts or whatever you think home users are vulnerable to
