So this worm does a really nice slash-and-burn if it gets loose on a nice speedy 100mbit corporate network. But that's just where it gets the *initial* burn, it's not where its staying power is going to be... Hmm... How many copies of Win98 and later has MS sold? Hint - a LOT of them aren't corporate, they're being sold to Joe Sixpack on that machine they just bought at Walmart or Circuit City. And remember - Joe Sixpack is still fuzzy on the idea that the Internet and the Web are two different things. Do you *REALLY* expect him to read MS03-026 and understand what it *REALLY* means?
