Stupid Stupid Stupid

Conficker? Do they not have AV protection, WSUS, IPS, IDS?

Come on public sector get your acts togethor with your IT infrastructure otherwise your just going to go round in circles! Dont use the lack of funds excuse, all of the above can be purchased for zero pence. Dont use the overworked/underpaid excuse all IT admins are overworked/underpaid but some things need to be a priority such as securing your IT environment from malware like this.....Somebody needs to be held to account for not doing thier job here its nearly a year since this worm was discovered and GMP still dont have the neccessary protection???

How Sad!

I really think it is sad that due to somebody's success that governments/busy bodies have to poke there noses in to make sure the smaller people get a crack at the whip. If the 'other' browsers were good enough they would be getting market share. I don't believe for a second it has anything to do with Microsoft squashing the competition, just look at Facebook taking My Space, Google taking Yahoo, iPhone taking Windows Mobile, Apache taking IIS. Jesus you would not expect to be able to put a Renault radio into a Vauxhall so why should governments/busy bodies expect the clear and outright winner to carry extra lead weights so the smaller lower quality product suppliers can play catch up.
