The Design and Implementation of laffer1

That internet worm was interesting. I looked at the analasis done by several people on bugtraq. Very interesting work.

Microsoft is planning on enabling automatic update in the next release of windows. It will force upgrade your box and if you disable it, your warrenty will be void. (meaning support options)

Whats worse is they might roll it out for XP in the next service pack. Mine is setup to download updates and notify me. That way if my box crashes, I know it was the update. I can use a restore point and not apply the patch again.
