Not sure I follow your logic there.

I asked you what ROOT-NETWORK.COM has to do with Microsoft and you deduce from that my being an NT admin. Can you answer the question?

And I am not sure how the article you quoted (about thursday's outages) has any relevance to our discussion of the DNS root servers problems on Tuesday.

Fianlly, concerning Thursday's outages, the press might describe them as "hackers" but hacking involves gaining access to a machine or network without authority. Some denial of service attacks take advantages of software vulnerabilities and could be called "hacking". The problems MS had on Thursday where not from such hacking but were similar to the denial of service suffered by Yahoo etc last year.

The results of this attack would be the same whether it was MS, Sun, my company or yours.
