Many have gotten antsy the past months about the Conficker worm, and all with good reason. Though the worm hasn't done much of anything (yet) except spread like the plague, it's infectious if one doesn't have his or her Windows operating system up-to-date with the most recent security updates. The worm is supposed to execute on April 1st, and the computer world is holding its breath to see if a disaster comparable to the hyped-up supposed Y2K doomsday will ensue or if it's just someone's idea of a sick April Fool's Day joke.

Maybe so, but I'm still gonna laugh my Butt off at Windows users, especially those that can't even be bothered to pay the Microsoft tax.
Security updates are distributed even to non-genuine users.
And laughing? Well, I'm not really laughing, I'm just pointing and telling my friends: that's not how to do it.
