Yeah, it's not like Nimda didn't exploit a vulnerability that half-decent admins would have patched after Code Red II or Code Red I.
Every exploit used by Nimda would have been a completely moot point if: 1) Admins would friggin take care of (patch) their servers instead of blindly blaming the manufacturer for their incompetencies. 2) Users would learn to click on the Windows Update and take advantage of Microsoft's free updates to their software 3) Lusers would stop saying "I wonder what happens if I click on this executable that Joe Blow sent me" or lazy admins would properly block malicious code before it gets to the users You want a car analogy? How about this one: Why do my doors keep getting dents in them? Stoopud car manufacturers! What do you mean that I'm supposed to close my doors before I drive? The car manufacturers should do that for me! Bottom line is that it's not MS's fault that so many admins are lazy and so many lusers are stupid!

Thankfully, after this latest Nimda fiasco, Microsoft appears to be waking up to the fact that producing the software equivalent of a Ford Pinto is not a practice that instills customer loyalty. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
