New Well.. to be really punctilious -
I'd agree with your complaint. That is, Windows is unlikely to be downloaded onto someone's machine via Back Orifice or whatever.. and to replicate itself attached to e-mails etc.

But as metaphor.. ya gotta admit (??) that the number of worldwide hours/$ spent thus far - repairing Windows anomalies on all scales - approaches that of rebuilding the Great Pyramid, with the (missing) outer sheath of limestone replaced with Gold.

No?
