I watched the CERT/NIPC/SANS "the sky is falling" media extravanganza on CODE
RED on CNN last week. Throughout the question period I waited with baited
breath for one of the more knowledgable reporters to ask if (and why) Unix and
Linux systems were invulnerable to this worm... all to no avail. It appears that
the general public just accepts that all computers are and should be running on
Windows as a matter of fact.
