m$ removing windowsupdate.com sets a quite dangerous precedent and gives a good motivation to worm writers IMHO. a lot of people claimed the worm is lame and bad written, but the worm's goal was to DoS windowsupdate.com and it rm'ed it permanently (judging from news sources). according to some linux is the biggest threat to m$, but IMHO windoze has become the biggest threat to m$. 10x for the windoze m$.
btw, the following joke comes to mind (quite off-topic, though).The horse, being the biggest animal in .bg claimed that no animal can bring him down (basically turning the horse on his back on the earth).
No animal could do it. Then the mosquitoes came, said "We can", and did it. georgi Darren Bennett wrote:
