On the day that a worm is released to destroy systems rather than to just 
annoy, what will be their spin?  Any bets on the placement of blame?  Here 
are my top choices:

- the open source people did it
- the security community is to blame
- Bin Laden did it
- I did it (since after all I suggested it here!)

I don't find stuff like this amusing anymore.  Microsoft is the most pathetic 
and sad subject in the computing industry (SCO is close).
