The piece I read on the front page of today's Times made me chuckle - it
said that a Microsoft employee had received an email and "unwittingly
installed" a trojan, which was, "disguised as Notepad". What would a
Microsoft employee be doing installing Notepad, let alone doing so from
an external email?!

Either The Times are victims of misinformation, or Microsoft employees are,
well, Microsoft employees :-)
