Don't change the subject. The topic was CLEARLY about whether the patch was released before or after the worm. I correctly stated that's *NEVER* happened with Microsoft, and it *has* happened with other O/S makers. We weren't talking about how many machines were infected, when, or how fast.... only what came out first - the patch or the worm. An area where Microsoft has a PERFECT track record thus far.

Maybe making up a lie, and not backing it up with anything other than the fact you can type it will help drive your point home. Maybe not, but it was a good effort.

So you change the subject, and think that by diverting the conversation, you've added intelligence to it. Yea... riiiiiiight.
