Way too much, I can run Mac OS X 10.5 (OSx86), Windows 2000, Ubuntu Studio and DOS all at the same time using VMware on Vista on 2 GB of RAM and a 2 GHz laptop.
What they need to do is implement the Conficker algorithm themselves, every day figure out the 50,000 domains for today, and for the next 24 hour period.
Prevent new registrations for any of those 50,000.
Use a massively distributed botnet of their own to scan all 100,000 possible domains several times an hour, for payloads that Conficker would accept.
If any validatable payload were found on the site, pull those registrations immediately, submit those IP addresses to public 'conflicker' IP blacklists, and serve up those/32s in a BGP feed, for the Tier-1 providers to immediately and automatically null-route if they so desire.
That made my head hurt. What they really need to do is ban Windows, and all the countries where Windows isn't banned. Problem solved, and not just for conflicker.
Seriously, when are we going to do something about the worm/virus of the week? Care to guess what elaborate schemes we'll need to stop the next one? I mean, really. Scan 100k domains several times an hour?!

And on March 30 3:00 AM GMT +0:00:
A variant of the Conficker worm, Conficker M, has been made to infect all Unix and Unix-like operating systems by forcing root.
All users have beeen advised to switch to Multics.

If this is an attempt to steal money from Google, it certainly is stupid.
Vista is bad and suddenly XP is a good OS? WTF? This is just like when XP was new. People bitched about Fisher-Price interface.
Why shut down when you can remove it all?
root@internet# rm -rf *
bill gates even said it years ago!
The only question is... What if they run Vista?
Replace it all with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, L.A.M.P, Openoffice.Org (also opens Microsoft files) and that's mostly it. ZOMG REPLACE IT ALL WITH OSS!
Windows is actually very stable, the only thing that crashes it are the Nvidia Alpha drivers (duh!). Windows just is not secure. Period.
Whazawha? Did the new NIN album come out already?
its on bittorrent on their site.

Dude, they gave the OSX kernel.
