I agree with ya CD, and used to hold that theory dear to my heart, but this Code Rainbow colored shit that's been out there recently targets free web server software which then can be security patched for free also. There really aren't many old school viruses that can even function on new Windows, let alone Win2k Pro. I think it's more along the lines of some programmer (for Microsoft maybe since it's their software getting hit?) got fired or pissed off. Or it's a bunch of kids that gain status points and belt notches for each system that can bring down.

Just my guess.
