Flaw?
So, which Windows flaw did NetSky exploit????

The only blame that can be put on Microsoft for this is they have the majority of the desktops and have an OS that the average non computer literate person can use. Unfortunately, it's that lack of literacy that's causing these infections. Not any particular flaw in the OS.

I'm not saying Windows isn't without it's faults, it has plenty. But blaming these virus infections on Microsoft is like blaming GM for an engine failure if you don't change the oil.
