Microsoft Infected by Virus

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cough-cough dept.

Vicissidude writes "It appears that a Microsoft worker returning from overseas brought back a case of Measles with them. In fact, they had been back, working, and spreading the disease at Microsoft and other places in Redmond for at least four days prior to being discovered. Somehow I do not think that Microsoft included in their cost-benefit analysis of offshoring the potential wide-spread infection of their company. Perhaps they should include that risk in the future."

    I'm disappointed the /. editors didn't change the usual borg picture for one with nice red spots on it ...

    Also worth noting, Bill Gates is one of the world's biggest funders of measles research programs.

  5. MS Employee? by DavidD_CA · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe there's another article, but the one linked in the summary doesn't mention anything about this person being an MS employee. It only says the person was at the MS cafeteria.

    This is anti-Microsoft FUD at its best.

    Counter-headline: "PENGUIN GETS RABIES, INFECTS FIREFOX."
