Isn't it amazing how we NEVER see the words MICROSOFT and Microsoft Outlook and Word mentioned in ALL these news reports about this virus. They would rather everyone think that "If you have E-mail, this thing will shut you down" although only if you have Microsoft Outlook will it cause the numerous bogus e-mails to be sent. This really irritates me. It's like there is a food poisoning related to a specific food product and the national news reports "Don't eat anything because you are going to be sick". Let's report who it affected and why. Microsoft e-mail shops were the culprits but other email users didn't see the massive amounts of bogus E-mails sent out and Microsoft Word is the other part of the equation. The normal crappy/buggy MICROSOFT products are why this is a problem. " Where do you want to go today. We have a special on jail today if you want to use our products weaknesses to create a virus Mellisa- MSFT " I would love to see the stories if the source of this problem was some other Company like Lotus, Intel, Novell, Borland, AOL, Netscape ect K....I'm done
