ZDNet AnchorDesk: Is another MSBlast attack on its way?

ZDNet AnchorDesk: Is another MSBlast attack on its way?:
"The Eschelbeck Theory, named after Gerhard Eschelbeck, a security researcher at Qualys.

The theory states that only half of the vulnerable systems in the world are patched within the first 30 days of a patch's existence, and that within that same 30-day period, someone invariably releases a virus or a worm to take advantage of the still-vulnerable systems. Given that, the clock is already ticking on these new Microsoft vulnerabilities. Of course, several of the newly announced flaws also involve Internet Explorer in some way. "
