[ale] [OT] Microsoft Memo Says It's Been Ineffective In Combating Open Source

[aaron]

Was this a service pack release for the XP eXcrement Pile
or some an earlier, less crippled version of MS OS?

What was the release ID??

It would be nice to be able to warn people about potential viruses to 
their systems.

peace
