This headline from the No Screaming S--- Dept.
Earthlink finally reaches the entirely obvious conclusion that windows is a spyware bug farm. We estimated that as much as 50% of the capacity of many corporate workstations is being zapped by spyware.

One of my friends has a 6 workstation XPee network. Every time I go in there and run a scan it's totally bogged down with spyware. Even at my security Death Star client they still have spyware getting through.

I can see why AT&T is making noise about switching to Linux based on security concerns. Better warm up the corporate jet, Steve. Time to pull out the Ultimate Weapon for those AT&T execs! The monkey dancing CEO. Dance, monkey boy, dance.
