thoughtless attacks you say? I was holding myself back not to reply
to Norman's post which is slightly incorrect. Of course the virus will not
run on Linux, BSD, BeOS, MacOS, Acorn, AmigaOS, Solaris, Altos, Symoblics
Machine, Plan 9, ZX 81 or any other remotely sane operating system.
Suffice to say, that last month about 80% messages were in search of
a solution for an MS Outlook problem and now the next purely MS problem.
IMHO this can be either because MS does have only braindamaged users or
because the software is braindamaged.
