What is the most recent number given for the percentage of small and medium sized businesses that have 'done nothing'? I recall a report from Nov or Dec but don't have the link handy and want to make sure I correctly quote this number and the source in a future post...

Don't know, Arnie. If three computers crashed in Bush's office, I wonder how many he was running? How many had been tested, remediated, etc.? Did any of the patched systems fail? Nice bit of impirical data that would be.

Now wasn't this the story where he DID replace the systems, he just left the old ones running to watch the impact in isolation. So he was curious; big deal.
