Not a very effective one, then. The key component - Windows Update - still fetches from the same place each time, and unless someone manages to fool that program into downloading from some other source, it's not a big problem.
The bigger issue here is the release of code that Microsoft may have licensed from third parties that they were not supposed to reveal, as well as the release of their own IP. I imagine someone's or some institution is going to be in a world of hurt if MS ever finds out who did it. Not terribly likely, but possible.

Many of these lines have been copied verbatim several thousand times. We do not want to, but are forced to sue Microsoft for unlicensed use of our intellectual property.
We will institute a licensing program called gplSource which will allow Windows users to obtain the legal rights to use our IP. This cost will be significantly discounted to early adopters.
Already at least three Fortune 500 companies have seen the validity of our claims and have paid these fees on a per-CPU basis to continue using Windows. While we cannot divulge their names, they do exist. Really!

I have noticed some viruses for linux. One was just a script and it recommended that the indivdual chmod a+x and then run it. The other one you had to type gcc -o virus virus.c and then run the resulting binary in order to get it to work. And then there was that one where it wanted to load a module but it couldn't because modules weren't supported on that kernel, although it did try for
Then there was that one that installed an irc backdoor:
JOIN #ddos# vrfx
MODE lamer +i
MODE #ddos# +nts
23:14 < lamer HTTP server listining on poort: 999 root dir: c:\ Address http://X.X.X.X:999/
Oh, wait. that last one was a Windows thing. But those other ones. Look out. They'll do some nasty things. I mean, it takes a bit of work to get them running. But once you do. Look out. They're dangerous!

Open Source Community Compared to Car Bombers.. (Score:2, Funny)
"With the open source community, there are a large percentage of tinkers and 'ankle biters' who are trying their hand at hacking. Some are even communicating with each other. So it only takes one or two of these groups sharing information to be able to pull something off. When you have this type of passion, it's hard to fight because these people are like virtual suicide car bombers."
Interesting choice of comparisons, if you ask me.

Viruses are well supported by their authors, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
So, Windows is not a virus.

I mean, criminy, I've been in self-imposed exile from the land of corporate jobs and "serious" business prose for over three years now and have just come home from the mushiest, sappiest, flat out cutest Valentine's Day dinner of my life, part of which was spent discussing the implications of my swiftly growing business and my swiftly improving finances. So doggone it, the silly letter usages stay. The world will just have to survive the trauma of it all.
