[Gllug] OT'ish: BBC News Coverage and Sobig Virus

[Paul Lee]

This got quite big billing on this evenings BBC news. However absolutely 
no mention of "Microsoft" throughout the bulletin.  Neither was it 
pointed that only Microsoft Operating Systems get infected.

Indeed no mention of "Microsoft" in this BBC article and "Windows" is 
only referred to once.

I reckon the MS spin department must work overtime keeping their name 
from being associated with the bad news. Odd how "investigative" 
journalism is suspended when another Microsoft, and only Microsoft 
products cause massive problems yet again.

When you consider the time and energy the BBC commits to tracking down 
ripoff holiday companies and dodgy plumbers on programmes like 
"Watchdog" and "Rogue Traders," Microsoft escape very lightly methinks.
