Dudez, it looks like the August 16 hackathon for Microsoft was a complete failure. Take a look at this story: Microsoft gets chance to fend off attack - it attacks windowsupdate.com, as opposed to windowsupdate.microsoft.com. I thought the writer of the worm might have been a bit clueless when I heard of how inefficiently it spreads itself (I don't think the crashing is part of the plan most of the time). He wasted a good opportunity to: (i) attack M$ Windoze users and (ii) attack M$. But I'd say another variant of the worm will emerge. I'd say you could get a LOT worse than what "Blaster" can do. This badly written one's little more than a pain in the ass...

AND another thing.. @ the Netcraft website it was last updated some time in July, and any increase in traffic is probably due to people patching their systems before this worm!!!
