What does this have to do with MSFT?
You guys gloat an awful lot about how this virus is due to "rotten Microsoft," but what exactly is the bug or badly-designed feature that allows these viruses to spread? They seem like trojans to me. What is it about linux that will prevent the idiotic users who fall for these things from opening it in Thunderbird and compromising their machine the same way?
