We are.  But I think a good number of us are probably running UNIX, or some 
variant thereof.

That's a script kiddy looking for nimda, code red, code red 2, or code green.  
To me, it's just a pain in the ass...flooding my bandwidth.  Doesn't pose any 
real threat.  But, there are certain versions of Tomcat 4.xx that may or may 
not be succeptible, and early versions of Apache 1.3.xx/Apache 2.xx for the 
unicode encoded urls, and of course IIS 4.0/5.0 if you're using the indexing 
server.
