Who needs .... $200 billions

``According to separate research from the FBI, 99 percent of businesses have antivirus protection. Yet in 2003, 82 percent were attacked by a virus, resulting in more than $200 billion in losses.''

I wonder WHICH were platforms involved in that 200 billion $$$ loss?? Any clues?

Hey Billy: THANKS for your `Trustworthy Computing Initiative'. I believe, and many people will agree
with me, the IT industry really NEEDED this 200 Billion $$$ LOSS at this strenuous times.

I only wonder if the entire world would have been BETTER OFF, had all these money been INVESTED in uprading the actual IT infrastructure.

And you thought that outsourcing was the No 1 problem. The outsourcing was PRECIPITATED by the unexpected and ubearble cost to clean up the collective PC security mess.
