Hackers! What a waste!

I keep seeing errors, in my FreeBSD/Apache webserver log (/var/log/httpd-errors), of the type: POST /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/fp30reg.dll HTTP/1.1" 401 517. According to NSFOCUS these are a Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions Buffer Overflow Vulnerability attacks on my webserver. Really? this exploit is nearly six years old. Guess old habits die hard? Thanks again Micro$oft for enabling so many hackers and criminals. Will Vista be any better?
