i wonder what the author meant. i doubt he/she meant a single virus, but an exploit that may exist in both systems. does linux have an 'equivalent' service such as that infamous windows meessaging service? this is not be confused with the msn messenger service, from what i've heard of reports. apparantly, m$ in their great wisdom created a messaging service so people could 'page' other people on the net, or let 'applications' send messages back and forth from a server or other nodes. these messages tend to splash themselves right on top of all your existing work on a desktop screen in a dialog box, according to grc.com. the service is on by default, keeps its own port running. anyone, over the net, could gain control over a machine using some known exploits. what's similar to this service in linux, if at all?
