What the Welchia worm did to network traffic alone was abhorrent. We had
less than 2 dozen infections spread across corporate, and it brought the
network to a crawl and our routers to their knees. Getting developers to
patch their machines reliably is such a headache. I can't wait til we can
install a patch management system, or at least get all the way to 2000.

Not so sure I can agree with you.
It's still a worm to me. Although the author had good intentions, the
concept is still the same. Anyone who touch my machine(s) w/o my knowledge
and processes something should be shot. In fact, I should be shot if I
allow it.
Don't you think that in a corporate environment that this type of stuff
should be done in a test environment PRIOR to release to real world systems?
What would happen if this is run against a system that wasn't tested and in
fact brought down a major corporate application?
Who's then at fault? Good? I think not... Sorry..
Just my $0.02.
