You know... I think that this 'virus' if it can be called that.. was written by a mac user. "Because when you read the source code, the first comment calls OS*X users to give up their nonconformity and switch back to Microsoft Windows."
To me that just screams sarcasm. People don't want to conform they want to stay with mac. It was probly some bored kid. Anyone could write a virus with applescript.

Wow the lady that wrote that article, writes a lot.. a WHOLE LOT, of articles! Plus a lot of famous quotes have been by her! Apparently most news articles concerning touchy subjects are also given to those news companies by this lady.

Too bad this post wasnt written by her though.. hmm..
