If you patch windows it will work fine ;p The worm wont hit you. If my company took down 27 critical servers to get this patched right away..something to worry about ;p Force all computers in our company (we are in 139 countries) to patch and reboot. Something that can cause a LOT of problems.

Just patch and no smart *** remarks ;p I dont want to hear you ***** that your ISP has been down all damn day when its actually your PC at home and that is why you cant play EQ2 or view your ****.
