Whoever wrote that note was clever but not quite clever enough. Every word and number shows that it was not written by a large corporation in the US. If I were a non-English-speaking hacker, trying to fool people into thinking that the note came from MS, I'd do a little more research than this fellow did! However, considering the literacy level of the native English speakers on the Internet, I suspect this virus will fool at least "500.000" people.
