imagine if the bug wiped out the infected computers' harddrives.
microsoft would be put out of business.

the bug, it would
not be possible it all.  Hrm, I don't really want to
start _THAT_
discussion again, but I don't think you will find
much, if any,
sympathy for Microsoft being targetted by this worm.
 They're a
large, rich, monopoly of a company.  Do they really
deserve any
nice sympathy at all ?  I suspect I'm not alone in
these feelings.
