Microsoft acknowledges a virus on their home page

The latest email virus that has been filling up our inboxes is brining all kinds of bad press down on Microsoft (and rightly so). However, I have seen one, however tiny and insignificant, gesture that Microsoft should be lauded for.

The Microsoft.com home page, as of this writing, features as the most prominent page element, a large item linking to information about the Mydoom virus (here’s a screenshot of the home page, as I’m sure it won’t stay up there for long). While this is, of course, the least Microsoft can do, it’s nice to see them putting the information that people are actually looking for right up front.
