there's loads of stuff here about that worm : don't know how useful it is but there's a lot there, don't know how you can write so much about it in so little time! (they must be paid for it!) Arstechnica say people didn't patch their systems becuase they didn't want to reboot which sort of makes sense if you're running a server and you do IT support, and people use the server 9-5 and you as the IT person work 9-5. There's also a new version of the MSBlast thing out... with 300,000 people infected so far (With the old one). This must be a nightmare for people who have Windows XP and don't have a clue why everytime they switch their PC on it reboots after 30 seconds... how are they supposed to find a fix...? "The new variety uses the name TEEKIDS.EXE"

MS say third party software is to blame for most crashes! yeah, that's the easy excuse. Outlook Express to go bye bye...? doh for some people at least. Windows 98 down to less than 4.5mb might be a good option with NT based systems broken! :) Apple are said to be giving refunds to people who don't like OS X or people who are annoyed by it! (looks like it's for G3 users who don't get all the features).
