Hi 'net dwellers,

I'm just posting to try and gauge what the f*ck micro$soft is upto at
moment.  I was just paging thru our router logs (the ones that trap
out the really foolish and stupid crackers) and found that someone at
micro$oft has been doing an all out IP search of our domain in a vain
attempt to find out which machines we have got running HTTP servers !!

Basically I'd like to know if anyone else has had similar experiences?
All accesses came from 131.107.3 between 22-Feb and today and all to
port 80.  So far they have gone thru approx. 20 hosts on our network.
Now for our network thats not a high load, and if it was anyone else
except micro$oft I'd probably not be quite as angry as I am, but if
they're doing this to the whole internet (and I bet they are)....
well thats too scary to think about!!

<SOAPBOX>
Am I the only one thinking that this is just an out right shocking
abuse of our already limited bandwidth ?? (esp. to the states)  I for
one do not want someone going thru all the IP addresses on the net,
trying to find elusive HTTP servers... now maybe micro$oft is trying
to figure out once and for all which HTTP server has the most market
share, and maybe one of the f*cking brain dead VP's of microsoft
thought to best way would be to log into every IP address and ask it -
it wouldn't surprise me, just look at the f*cking shit software they
produce (all of which consumes all available resources, and when exits
doesn't return them to the OS ... which is also crap btw) so of course
they would think that the internet is just another resource to be
plundered.... but I have to be a realist and say it's too early to
think thats the case, maybe the bastards have some special interest in
us (thus this post to see if anyone else has had similar experiences).
</SOAPBOX>

Anyway let me know what you think, or if you have had similar
experiences.

Scott.

ps. is it just me or do the above dates correspond to the poor
    internet throughput recently ? ;)
