What do you expect from a Mac user. Dumb jokes that not based in reality. |

Makes more sense that it would be considered a "bug" instead of a "virus" because by nature, computer viruses are designed to do damage.

"wrong... a virus actually DOES something..." You got that right, just one of the reasons I left that nasty beast.

No, Windows is not a virus.
Here's what viruses do:
1) They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.
2) Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that.
3) Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too.
4) Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too.
5) Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that's with Windows, too.
Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences :
Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature. So Windows is not a virus. It's a bug.

apparently crippled many of the Internet connections of the roughly 600,000 users who installed it.
I think the patch was made to do this. What better way to secure Windows then to cripple its internet connection.
