    I use it on all my webserver at home. But for work I'm forced to use IIS and stories like this are the reason why. Slashdot, you aren't doing Apache any favors by publishing this kind of thing--it only makes Open Source software look bad. Please, keep it under your hat.

    Oh, so it's an open source worm. I wonder if it's GPLed.
