there is one other thing...

he is correct when he says that Microsoft will say it's completely the 
worm writer's fault. BUT i think Microsoft should be punished too for 
having so many security holes. they had to patch it faster.

who's fault is it really when you buy a door, you lock it, but a burglar 
finds a way to easily open it, comes in and tells you...

just my 2 cents

ps. i don't agree with the worm writers, but just want to say it's not 
just his fault, microsoft has to take it's responsability too
