So EDS does a rollout of a new M$ bag-o-bugs and clobbers the client. Its a record for a OEM/VAR-induced denial-of-service attack on a UK government network (Department of Work and Pensions), coming in at 80,000 desktops disfunctional for 100-plus hours, or an 80% successful attack. The DWP's attempt at damage control is to point out that their mainframes were not affected (and they saved a lot of money not sending out benefits too.)

Those of you who give your entire operating systems and applications software budget to M$ give yourselfs a big high five. You be da winners!!! You know that M$ and EDS will eventually liberate humanity from ... computers.
