“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,” Apple said on its site.”
what!? how is it microsofts fault that the ipods shipped with viruses? Yes apple should be upset with themselves …but why the jab at microsoft?
microsoft is not the one who created them or the virus. apple is at fault here they never should have shipped with virus in the first place. so instead of pointing a finger at Microsoft saying “microsoft should have been more prepared for this” instead they should be going “hey how did that get on there in the first place”, becasue it doesnt touch windows except for in the manufacturing line or until after the user buys it in retail and hooks it to thier windows machine. apple handles everything up to that point!

Why do people always play the blame game? I’m surprised about this, how long has the ipod been out?
well there had only been about 25 complaints its hard telling how many got shipped but the infected one started shipping sept 12th.
but ever since the WWDC.. apple has been jabbing at microsoft about all sorts of things trying to get attention away from apple like the latest investigation thats happening at apple ill have to see if i can find the article about that.
Apple is probably jealous of Microsoft’s success in the business and they want the media to notice them more. If you don’t make a noise, nobody will pay attention to you.
I wouldnt say they are jelous. I would say they are just trying to hype up their product trying to make it better taht what it really is. What it really boils down too though is personal preferance i have a mac but i dont use it i use my windows machine. Also i have to know how to work on a Mac for work and from personal expeirence i have had more trouble with the macs i work on than the windows machines i work on.
I also have trouble with macs. I prefer windows as well.
