I don't know about direct effects of the worm, but both windows update and the microsoft sites in general seemed to be down for many hours yesterday afternoon.... maybe it was just a huge influx of people trying to get at the patches, or maybe some server upgrades went awry...(apparently MS were going to increase their web serving capacity...)
