A Microsoft funded white paper titled "Opening the Open Source Debate" 
published by AdTI makes this statement:

"Another security concern is that the primary distribution channel for GPL open 
source is the Internet. As opposed to proprietary vendors, open source is 
freely downloaded. However, software in the public domain could contain a 
critical problem, a backdoor or worse, a dangerous virus."

News.com breaks the story that Microsoft distributed Nimda-infected CDs of 
Visual Studio .Net in Korea.

And M$ wonders why no one takes "Trustworthy Computing" seriously.

<sigh>
