MS Gets Slammed -- 11:15 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I saw this link on a number of different sites and it's too funny not to post here. Microsoft got hit hard by the Slammer worm this past weekend. Why? They didn't apply their own patches on all their boxen. A snip for your, em, snipping pleasure:

On Saturday, the Microsoft's Windows XP Activation service was down, not because the servers were vulnerable, but because the company's internal network was inundated with junk data, Rick Devenuti, the chief information officer for the software giant, said in an interview Monday.
