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."

    While others are lambasting the article, in broad terms it is interesting to think about the aspect of offshoring where many more people in a company travel abroad more often than they might otherwise. It does increase the likleyhood of trouble from illness, even if only from the plane ride...

    I do feel sorry for anyone that managed to catch this though, talk about unexpected!

    Don't get your hopes up. The virus is not always deadly, many people are immune or have been vaccinated, and it isn't so aggressive as to take over the whole campus in matter of 4 days! We can realistically expect 2-3, at most 5 fatalities, which is a of course a good thing, but it's still nothing compared to the power of Microsoft. Nice try, but we really need to try harder next time.

    And remember: Microsoft employees don't die. They reach end-of-life stage.
