Security Through Obscurity

An article on the Register details a fix that Microsoft has silently rolled into Windows XP SP1.... Apparently a bug in the XP Help Center allows you to wipe your hard drive (or selected directories) with just a link to a URL.

Anyone tried this yet to confirm? If it's true... wow, that's a big bug.
