The virus on the Visual Studio stuff is a great example of Linux folks getting all bent out of shape about nothing. A third party contractor made a mistake and left a virus file on the Visual Studio disk for Korea. Interestingly, the virus is not possible to get through the installation or use of the Visual Studio product. You would have to go find the file by hand and execute it. The virus itself can only infect systems with IE5.5, but Visual Studio installs and requires IE 6.0. All the files used by the product were virus scanned y MS and came up clean... tehre was simply one file that is no threat accidently included on the disk. FUD indeed :)
