All your Microsoft software are belong to Nimda

Expect to see your inbox flooded with the virus. I've already received about 20 copies in my inbox -- each one immediately asks me if I want to run the attachement. Web sites running Microsoft IIS can also be infected, using similar vulnerabilities to what Code Red used. Browsing an infected web site, Microsoft Internet Explorer will ask you to run some software -- no prizes for guessing what that software contains.

An infected computer will spread itself to personal computers through email and to IIS web servers with random IP scans. It also adds hidden shares to the C drive.

The laws of nature have shown that for a given ecosystem, a lack of diversity is a dangerous proposition. Indeed, court rulings have shown that Microsoft abused their monopoly. But if Nimda proves anything, it will be that Microsoft's monopoly -- abused or not -- is dangerous for the greater IT community.
