Visual Studio .Net: Now with more Viruses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday June 14, 2002 @05:20AM from the trustworthy-computing dept.

News.com breaks the story (and 8000 readers submit) that Microsoft distributed Nimda-infected copies of Visual Studio .Net in Korea. I don't even know what to say here; nothing seems adequate, except to point out that "trustworthy computing" does not seem to have had any effect whatsoever. News.com just updated their story to point out that it probably won't infect the people who installed Visual Studio .Net, but it's still a rather nasty faux pas for a company that's supposed to be cleaning up its act.

If I were MS, I'd buy all 3 computers in Korea and give them new ones.
