Well done.
What made me mad while listening to all the so-called "experts"
on TV and radio:
Just one(!) of them mentioned that this attack just concerned
computers running "Windows, an operating system by Microsoft".
They all elaborated wide and far how users can avoid the attack
or kill the virus. All the stocks of antivirus companies rose
today and the companies sold a lot of "knowledge" and earned a
mountain of gold.
What for?
Just tell the people:
1. Don't open mails with dubious titles
2. Don't use Outlook
3. Don't use Windows (should be 1.)
That's all. But then they wouldn't make so much money, poor
buggers...
But OTOH this event may be good publicity for OpenSource. *If*
some of the experts would mention that there are alternatives.
