Microsoft Infected by Virus
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."
Can you imagine the relief at M$ that it doesn't affect Windows. Bet they still announce a patch will be released though.
haha, I miss read the post the first time and thought they were talking about a computer virus infecting microsoft headquarters.... but then I realized that if it was a computer virus hitting microsoft, it really would not be news...
Somebody at Microsoft has... the MEASLES!!!
...Uh. /. article on it. Why is this any different?
Call out the National Guard! Get the NSA on the phone! It's an EMERGENCY!!!
My sister had the measles, and I didn't see any
You know, this article would have just been funny if it had just been left as "microsoft infected by virus, omg even their employees need anti-virus." Making it into an anti-offshoring rant is just stupid.
This article sucks. WTf?!?!?!
Guy goes to work overseas. Gets sick. Works at Microsoft. Other employees get sick. That kind of thing NEVER happens with my 5 kids who roam the neighborhood with other kids, bringing infections home... no... never.
Wow. What a RETARDED post. Somebody needs to be beaten upside the head with a frozen trout!
I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.
