Re - O/T: Virus mascarading as Microsoft security patch.

I was sent the attached message. It contained the "Microsoft security

All the uppercase yelling won't change anything.

Nothing of any importance. There's no evidence of any contribution to

That's probably because I don't subscribe to sci.space.history and
never have.



So I think your theory that "every large corporation succeeds
by introducing their own standard" needs a little work.

Sorry, it's not my theory, and it isn't even vaguely extractable from what I
said.

"Much more accurately, Microsoft, rather than undoing standards, is
taking advantage of its size and very wisely trying to *create* the
standards. This worked for the VHS folks very well-"

You want to explain the difference between "taking advantage of its
size and creating the standard" and what I said? In particular what
"this" worked for the VHS folks and why didn't wasn't Sony's
introduction of Beta the same "this"?
