Be exact. Remember to say:
"It's a Windows virus" -- NOT: "it's a computer virus".
Ever notice how squeamish the BBC are about being truthful about this?
The nearest they can get is to show a picture of the NT logo and let
viewers infer what they will.
And remember -- your friendly UK government pays HALF A BILLION POUNDS A
YEAR to the people who sell this non-functioning product; not to
actually *buy* anything outright; just to be allowed the 'right' to be
licensed to let British industry, commerce and the civil service be
infected in this way.
Do you believe the American public would ever tolerate a non-American
product behaving in this way, without screaming for massive compensation?
