Personal comment: with an average of /more/ than one way to capture a Windows
box /every/ week, SPAM and DDOS attacks are nowhere near over. Last patch
Tuesday fixed 7 or 11 major flaws, IIRC. My blogs received close to 1000
comment spam in the past 24 hours alone (UIP's are indicative of botnets).
Others can attest to the same experience.
