RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Winders SP2

["F Vernon Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

HEheheh I just thought of something, Microsoft estimates 100 million
computers will download SP2 over the next 2 months. 

We were laughing in the office, this is an instant self inducing Denial of
Service attack as 100 million computer all try to update at 3:00AM (The
default time for the update to run) at the same time.

Of course there are different time zones which would make it rotate through.


We just found it a little humorous.
