[pchelpers] News:Microsoft Cries Foul Over iPod Virus Blame Shifting

Not so fast says Microsoft on the Apple "blame game"

DailyTech reported on Tuesday that Apple had shipped a number of 5.5G 
iPods with the Troj/Bdoor-DIJ trojan. The Trojan, which can allow 
hackers to gain remote access to your computer, affected less than 1% of 
iPods shipped since September 12 according to Apple.

Not surprisingly, Apple tried to shift some of the blame to Microsoft 
for the virus. "As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not 
being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with 
ourselves for not catching it."
