XP is absent from the list of affected OSes. Does that mean XP isn't affected, or is it just off the radar now that it's no longer supported.

Could this be the first big unpatched XP hole?

Isn't there an extended, for-pay support service for xp? In that case, it must mean a patch will be engineered and released to paying customers. How long until these leak out and pirates start trading XP patches?

How long until people start offering unofficial patches that include backdoors?

I think XP is affected. Luckily the current exploits only works on IE9-11, excluding XP.

Microsoft is aware of limited, targeted attacks that attempt to exploit a vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, Internet Explorer 10, and Internet Explorer 11.

I'm pretty sure this will affect XP as a result.
