Fairly new to the security scene, but, didn't the worm come out AFTER the patch? I guess Microsoft could have patched it sooner so that the worm could have come out sooner. The biggest question I have is why all the hostility at Microsoft for patching their system? There are plenty of holes still in the system that warrant your wrath. When I see a worm that comes out before Microsoft patches, I'll be all over Microsoft just as the rest of you "Microsoft can do no right" doomsayers.
