"Widespread worms, viruses or Trojan horses spammed to millions of mailboxes are typically not a grave concern anymore, security experts said at the Virus Bulletin conference here Thursday".

That's right folks. 200,000 known Windows viruses spawning millions upon millions of extra data packets which then clog up the www for everyone, well, it's not a problem. No, let's not dwell on the fact that without Windows viruses and spambots, the www network would be faster and more efficient by an order of magnitude. Let's quickly gloss over the fact that there is a Windows OS on over 90% of all desktops, and this is why spam, malware and virus traffic is such a major problem. Windows itself is the past, present and future of malware, as it has been always so, it will ever be.
