"Is the problem really so bad that ISPs (Internet Service Providers) must start encouraging users to abandon Windows or enforce Windows security? I think so.

"Think about it. Besides last week's attack, in early July many South Korean and American government and business sites were knocked out, In May, it was Google's turn to be battered.
