I heard that the web was slow today.

Yep - thanks to a 6 month old known MS SQL exploit. God Bless Microsoft.
No, really - they need it. :)

Tell me, is there even one major or minor DoS attack on the internet
bringing zone servers and mega-networks to their knees that can *not* be
traced back to Microsoft exploits? IMHO, It would seem MS weaknesses
have cost Internet servers and users billions of dollars collectively,
while MS laughs all the way to the bank, totally beyond liability...

"The IT didn't patch the patch", "They left MS on the Trusted list",
"The user didn't have tomorrows virus protection", "That's a feature",
and "Oh crap" are probably commonly heard in the Microsoft offices. :)

Grimace,
