While there have been dire warnings about XP, has anyone heard of any ACTUAL attacks that weren't caught by antivirus systems, etc.

Here we go again !

Anti-virus and any other software WILL NOT protect you from XP vulnerabilities. They all rely on the OS and its APIs. I do wish people would take 20 seconds to get that into their heads !

Its only a matter of time before we hear publicly .... if, not when ! As time goes on, there will be more and more exploits released of increasing seriousness.

I suspect there have already been zero-day exploits but the clinger-ons probably are to busy being artificially smug to notice.
