No More Unrestricted Internet At Work

Office e-viruses - "The Microsoft Disease"

[Seth Finkelstein]

Per http://www.santafe.edu/~shalizi/reviews/subjects/f rench-disease.html

``The French Disease'' is what the Italians of the 16th century called syphilis; the French, naturally, called it the Italian Disease, or the Disease of Naples

In honor of this history of viruses, I propose that Linux users should consider, for office computer virusus, adopting the terminology "The Microsoft Disease".

Really. Because there's times I'm very, very, happy not to be using Windows, such as when the latest Outlook or Word infection is going around.
