What is incorrect ? The fact that one person can control many computer
systems - home and business - all around the world ?
That the same person can launch exactly the same attacks on my mail
servers and the same attacks on my web servers from different machines
all around the world ?
That the machines being used for the attacks just happened to be running
M$ ?
That every day I witness the attacks on my systems ?

I really do think I would because of the systems I run. Please do not
judge my standards by standards you may be familiar with.
