Well.  Looking through SecFocus's solution page for the bug this worm
exploits 
(http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5363/solution/) it looks every OS
maintainer affected had released fixes by mid August at the latest. 
Most within 5 days of the bug's announcement.  How long did it take M$
to admit, fix, and make available the vulnerability that lead to code
red?  And to add to Adrian's bash: as a percentage of the whole, how
many 'nix machines are/will be exploited?  How does that compare to
(pick your iis exploit du jour)?
