$10000 Mac bug can hack Windows too

It turns out that the vulnerability isn’t in Apple’s Safari web browser after all, but in the interaction between QuickTime and Java.

That’s not an academic issue, as it means that using an alternative browser such as Firefox gives no protection against the exploit.

If you need to use a web site that requires Java, decide whether you trust the site before turning it back on, and don’t forget to disable it again when you’ve finished.

The other point is that QuickTime is also installed on a lot of Windows PCs. So it seems likely that the bad quys are trying very hard to replicate Dino Dai Zovi’s work, and they’ll now be looking very closely at QuickTime and Java, especially on Windows.
