Re: [Full-Disclosure] Loss of windowsupdate.com breaks SUS?

[Georgi Guninski <guninski@guninski.com>]

m$ removing windowsupdate.com sets a quite dangerous precedent and gives a good 
motivation to worm writers IMHO.
a lot of people claimed the worm is lame and bad written, but the worm's goal 
was to DoS windowsupdate.com and it rm'ed it permanently (judging from news 
sources).
according to some linux is the biggest threat to m$, but IMHO windoze has become 
the biggest threat to m$. 10x for the windoze m$.

btw, the following joke comes to mind (quite off-topic, though).
The horse, being the biggest animal in .bg claimed that no animal can bring him 
down (basically turning the horse on his back on the earth).
No animal could do it.
Then the mosquitoes came, said "We can", and did it.
