Well IMO Steve's decision to upset a community full of developers is more likely to get the virus makers hard at work. The reference article doesn't make sense, as far as I'm aware the Chinese hacking was directed against the Google Servers and more particularly the personal accounts of Google users, and the Google servers run Linux. This is completely separate to the Windows desktops that Oliver Office worker might be running. Tomorrow, when the Chinese hackers wake up, they'll again be hacking Google's Linux.
