  Ironic. Conficker is M$ fault several ways. I notice that some of the articles identify that the machines are prone to re-infection, which is another way of saying that after all this time M$ still hasn't patched the underlying problems.
  
  Best of all, these removable storage devices that plague the enterprise environment are almost the entirely the result of workers desperate to exchange work files while subjected to a Microsoft Infrastructure Solution. Windows Server just plain doesn't cut it as a file server. The end result is that desk jockeys wander from room to room with a cluster of usb compact flash dongles acting as sneakernet-surrogates for the missing operational network file system.
  
  Forget 'terrorists', M$ boosters are doing more dollar damage than any shoebomber or backpacking tunnelbahn pedestrian.
  
  What'll M$€ do if these enterprise-enabled monkeys with usb sticks jockey out of being M$ consumers and into being Samba users? Then business will have to figure out what to do if they start getting more than 4 productive hours of work per employee per week?
