Anyone heard/seen press coverage that labeled it "A Microsoft worm"
vice "computer worm.."???
NPR, nyet; pcworld.com, nyet; NYT, nyet.
WashPost buried it 75% of the way in:
The virus was written to run on Windows software, and the
worm could not be launched by users of other operating
systems.
but mentioned it.
