A worm called DoS.storm is worming its way into Microsoft IIS 4 and 5 systems and launching denial of service attacks against the Microsoft.com Web site. The worm is especially fond of systems that haven't been patched for the known Web Server Folder Traversal security vulnerability.

A recent Gartner Dataquest report, co-sponsored by Redmond, found about 9% of server shipments in the U.S. during the third quarter of 2000 were Linux-based. That's considerably less than the figures in an IDC study.
