Windows Security vendors have reported several new variants of the worm infecting PCs running Microsoft's Windows 2000 operating system. Groups of virus writers are competing to cause the most damage, according to one security company, although the worm appears less severe than some first feared.

Well the new ZOTAB worm has reduced CNN to using typewriters

Really??? Wierd, since I work at CNN and the most we've had to deal with is some of our servers had to be taken offline while an update was applied.

No, we have our Unix/Linux servers taken off line all the time too while updates are applied. That's usually the procedure for updating I would think. Don't know, since I'm a developer not a sysadmin. The original parent thread said we were reduced to using typewriters, I was just calling BS on this since me and all the developers around me worked through the day with no problem.
