At the risk of another dodgy car analogy, would it be OK to drive down the
pavement/sidewalk and run over anyone who doesn't get out of the way quick enough? That's a form of Natural Selection, is it not? Which is why people don't really believe in evolution. << You can be fined for j-walking, can you be fined for not patching? This is what I'm getting at, currently there are no motivating factors to cause people to patch except the threat of being exploited. Suggest something we as the security community can do besides releasing shutdown type tools to provide the necessary motivation to get these machines patched and I'm all ears. Doing nothing is not an option imo and lacking the existance of virus/worms/script kiddies would result in an even more dangerous situation.
