Well, while we're OT . . . That should qualify for some award . . .

<sarcasm>
Poor Microsoft!  Being attacked by Thieves, Con Artists, terrorists and, 
God forbid(!) HACKERS.  Well, here's a flash for Mr. Ballmer.  If your 
software wasn't Swiss cheese, it wouldn't be vulnerable and you 
wouldn't be attacked!!!
</sarcasm>

Seriously, though, this is yet another bit of evidence to me that they 
just don't get it . . . 

Sorry.  That just insulted even my limited intelligence . . .
