I agree Wayne.
As is often the case, the story was also distorted somewhat... this
article seeks to put it right:

They act like Monad was the source of the viruses but I've got new for ya.
Virus writers write & distribute them not Monad. They also did NOT mention
whether these critters would run in Xp if someone were to send an
attachment & the end luser actually ran the thing. Heck even Bernie could
write an app that could do damage but it would be up to the end luser to be
gullable enough to run it & not Monad's or Vista's fault. It goes back to
the thing that no one wants to accept responsibility for their own actions
so it has to some one else's fault.
OBTW I hope that the shuttle astronauts have a safe return.
