Stall The Ball

I was wondering why my stats had gone through the roof over the last few hours.

Now I know why. It was from this article on Microsoft Vista SP1 released on Windows Update

300 visits per minute for the last 2 hours. Gulp!

EDIT: Something amiss here, B2Evolution the app I use for this site is reporting "March 18th, 2008 (34723 views )" but AwStats is reporting a factor of 10 less 3,101 pageviews.

I think a spider might have gone nuts on the page
