Neither, I think--just wanting to get more eyes on that blog entry.
I don't see this as either a debate or a feud--the finding that a worm which
spreads entirely by "social engineering" rather than any code vulnerability
had that prevalence I think surprises a lot of folks.

Indeed. There seems to be general agreement that we are our own worst enemy.
There's still no cure for user error or ignorance. Too bad so many of us
learn that after the fact. Somehow the idea of a "beginner's permit" for
Internet use does not seem that crazy anymore, albeit unrealistic.

It may be interesting to see what bugs are picked for future months
additions to that tool. The other question for Microsoft is what was wrong
with their "intelligence" received via OneCare and Safety.live.com--clearly,
the set of folks running those tools are not representative of the set
running the MRT.

Hi Bill and Old Rebel
Internet is driven by p2p, prOn and gambling
and some business..............
And for sure MS and all security vendors knows that.
And all ISPs also knows it and they earns a lot of money to sell
broadband connections.
The business must be protected but human stupidity
is not a threat to Internets infrastructure. (Sasser, MSBlast etc)
One "root cause" is p2p and there are indeed several ways to handle
that and I´m not sure that MS and the industrys way is the right
ie protect sneaky shareholders with a giant market where they can sell
much more with lower prices and less p2p if they wants.
Or we are back again with TPM as solution
