NOT VISTA!
Hey, Haters! - MS Profits up 35% for the Quarter!
What kinda job do you iTards, lame-brains, nitwits, Linux fans, morons, liars and MS-Bashers think I'm doing now? I am being heralded, regaled, praised, congratulated and cheered all over the Internet! You people who still doubt me can "eat my stained shorts!"
I don't mean to gloat, but this has been a looong time coming!
They public has vindicated me and my management style and philosophies; to you all I say thank you, you will be rewarded for sticking with us and our innovative, leading edge products and services!
I pledge to use these extra billions in a holy war against our competition and to reign in those companies that support them and their disruptive technologies!

It has been my humble pleasure serving you and our partners!

My computer is clear also, but the previous message to mine posted maybe the first human in history to be affected by a spyware!?

Two or three more postings are required to see if the statistics applies to the first six people.

Unless, it is simply a publicity stunt that must be considered.

mines screwed right now. I don't think I've ever had a problem this bad before. I'm fortunately on Ubuntu right now and working on just getting rid of Windows once I can figure out how to pull my files off it. (It won't even start in safe mode but the folders are still there but I can't access them right now lol :( )

Anyway I didn't read the article but it depends wholly on your definition of malware, while my computer has a serious infection its a very broad term. I would imagine its more like 9 out of 10 computers at least have some sort of tracking cookie or software that relays user useage data back to there home base. Most people never run scans or are aware that there may be some sort of issue on there computer. Of course most of the people on this forum are generally more advanced then to just let things go.
