You know, I admit this post is kinda a troll... but I have to also admit that I kind of agree with this.

My day-job (Win32 integration with predominantly Linux environment) exists because of this. Basically, the summer before I was hired, several offices (main office, business, support, pr, etc) were shut down because of a rampant virus that they actually spread to eachother (it came attached as a background cycling program... one person liked it and spread it to everyone else). If it wasn't for my efforts here, I'll readily admit that the staff would have been hosed when the DCOM viri began spreading last year, they would probably be being hit pretty hard by these Agobot variants right now.

Now, these staff members aren't stupid in the slightest... but they are pretty darn ignorant with respect to technology. If it wasn't for my BOFH tactics, we'd be awash in viral troubles ;-)

Of course, before anyone goes and says "why am I complaining, I have a job from it" let me just say that I /really/ don't want to do Win32 integration for the rest of my life, and what I'd really like is my recent business venture to work out...
