we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses I don't speak Yiddish, but I think it must be the very definition of chutzpah to ship a product with software installed that can damage the customer's computer if he uses a competitor's OS, and then be "upset at" the competitive OS for possibly being unable to defend itself against one's virus-ridden product.
I can understand mistakes, although it's hard to buy that somehow a virus directly affecting your biggest competitor's main product just happened to get onto a product that should never have been connected to anything that could contain a virus before being sold. But whatever PR flack Apple got to write this little non-apology probably needs to be in another line of work.

In other news, McDonald's Japan did a giveaway of
10,000 mp3 players loaded with the QQPass Trojan, which steals login data.
Stuff like this has happened a few times in the industry, including at least one OEM PC maker. But companies do need to get a tighter grip on their suppliers.
