Stealing is always bad.
Programming is never by accident.
At least sikat na naman ang pinoy!
Imagine sa CNN: Abu Sayaff, MILF, Love Bug!
Serves Microsoft right for careless about security.
Serves you right you admins who succumbed and kept
on using MS-Office (which contains Outlook or the free
one in Win98), even with all the security concerns
about VBS.
I use Linux, I worry about security, I don't steal,
I don't use MS-Office (P25,000/computer... sheesh!)
I use FreeBSD in my production web server.
