[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Isn't it odd that we get these warnings from MS whenever they are on the verge of releasing a new operating system?

They had the same press release when XP was new. What better way to scare the average Luser into buying the latest, greatest from the MS stable?

[Still Thinking]

Who would have better have information available to write a virus that could selectively target only certain (read “old”) MS operating systems in a way the newer ones are immune to?
