MSBlaster is not murder, or anywhere NEAR its equivalent.
I'm sick of bad house/car/crime analogies for electronic security issues and
events. It produces flawed and sloppy thinking, and leads to irrelevant
argument. That being said, if you MUST find a 'meatspace' criminal analogue
for these worms, keying cars and breaking passenger windows is a better
match than any act of fatal aggression.
