There are A LOT of companies still running NT on both servers and workstations, last time I was in a major server room at Big Blue, well I won't name clients, but several large name clients have NT based server solutions. Yes I know blocking certain ports will stop it from getting in, but there is still potential for many NT systems not to have those ports blocked now, or in the future.
If a system outside the modem/router can't access port 135 on the machine in question, you are REASONABLY safe for a few minutes until you have time to install the update.
Not installing a free update to fix a problem like this is just asking for trouble.

I guess this would hold true so long as they didn't sell or assign the rights elsewhere.

Maybe not, but when I worked in a software store one lady came in to return a piece of software and said if she didn't her boss would fire her for wasting money on useless software.

I just started looking for a site on the net with 'stop sweating' but realized the hot IT chick I work with will be looking through logs of the sites I visited, you only get once chance to make a first impression!
While showing them how to use Google can be important, they should be given options and let them decide what is best for their purposes. While I prefer Google, they may not.
I locked my parents start page to google some time ago and now they think 'google' is the Internet.
I know people who have that, I just wait for them to call me, you think you're that popular that we're gonna sit on hold for 6 minutes and go through 18 different options?
There was a star trek voyager episode that dealt with this, where a society that had never heard music before was amazed by the Doctors singing ability. At the end they designed another hologram that was superior to the Doctor's singing ability, however it lacked any feeling or emotion. Thought, feelings, and much more goes in to music, until they perfect that chess program... we don't have to worry about computers taking over the airwaves yet.

Don't think they won't start suing companies who use Linux and don't license...

Insider trading is buying/selling stock based on information you have that is not publically available.
This isn't a troll, I was on the phone with a customer and I loaded /. and I began laughing out loud. They're fuxing insane.

Gimp however will remain popular with those as myself who have no business need for PhotoShop and can't afford the $$$ for it.
