The Slammer worm penetrated a private computer network at Ohio's Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in January and disabled a safety monitoring system for nearly five hours, despite a belief by plant personnel that the network was protected by a firewall, SecurityFocus has learned.

I have to agree that Microsoft is not at fault here.(The patch was there 6 months ago) I use windows and also linux,solaris, and netware if any of these are left unpatched they can leave me open to just as much damage as an unpatched windows system. The hole that caused this problem was not an OS problem but a personnel problem both IT and Corporate.
