"Korean Net users are threatening Microsoft with
legal action over the damage inflicted on the
 country's broadband infrastructure by the Slammer
worm.  "

======================

I say it's about time Microsoft is held responsible for its negligence.

But I'd also hold the PC Press responsible for their aiding and abetting
Microsoft in creating this intolerable situation.  They never bothered
to investigate Windows security flaws.  They were so enamored by the
hype that they ignored the truth.
