This I cannot take serious: live.altavista.com Microsoft is the only company in the world, that could find it hard to fight a virus like iloveyou. Bill doesn't sound very credible right now, and I think he should be quiet regarding this virus. The phrase: "such sophisticated viruses" makes me laugh. Iloveyou is probably one of the least sophisticated viruses around. By the way: According to the DOJ paper, Visual Basic would be an Apps company property. Unless JScript belongs to the Windows company, the virus problem will then almost be only an apps-company problem. The Windows company is working towards a multi-user solution, which implies making executable files read-only, and the boot-sector is already protected.
