What appears to be a technological advantage (having Microsoft all over the place) turns into a susceptible and long term disadvantage (switch to protected oses : unix/linux/mac osx). Funny that Le Monde online had 5 or 6 articles on the virus subject, but the daily updates of Linux Weekly News had absolutely nothing on it...
