“The latest Internet virus to cause turmoil on desktops around
the world highlights a unique security problem: users’ dependence
on Microsoft products.”
“The worm was a source of amusement for Microsoft critic James
Love, director of the Consumer Project on Technology in Washington,
DC. Someone sent him the virus, but it didn’t affect his
Linux-based machine running WordPerfect. If there were more
diversity in the marketplace, he remarked, such disasters wouldn’t
happen.”
“‘If everybody in the world was only growing one kind of corn
and some sort of disease wiped it out, then people would go
hungry,’ Love said.”
