To quote John Hurt in Spaceballs, "Oh no, not again!"  Mentioned here
because many of us dual-boot or deal with heterogeneous networks...

This is an appalling discovery (more so than usual). While only
Win2000 was tested, I'm sure that other Windows versions use the same
random-number generator algorithm -- right up to WinVista, most
likely.
