  2. Re:Would it have mattered? on Symantec Claims They Knew About Slammer In Advance · · Score: 1

  3. Would it have mattered? on Symantec Claims They Knew About Slammer In Advance · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If Symantec had release a warning, would it have made much difference? How many months did the nimda and code red viruses stay with us because people didn't bother updating their software. I even doubt Microsoft would have had a bug fix out in time.
