This still doesn't rule out Microsoft's involvement, though.  They probably
have people over there too.  They probably have people everwhere...  In
fact, they may be listening to us right now.  If you don't hear from me
again, they probably came and took me away.

>From what I understand, Code Red has roots in China. I may be wrong, but I
seem to remember seeing something in passing on CNN to that effect.

If you haven't read it yet, Cringley's second article outlines the theory
that Microsoft may be behind Code Red, planning to use it as a justification
for switching the Internet to a proprietary protocol - in other worlds, only
hackers working for a Microsoft Approved company can attack you!
