In other news, over the same period of time, a company in Redmond reclaimed
many billions. It will soon distribute OneCare, which will benefit further
from the problems above. The report does not account for all the SPAM and
DDOS attacks that are a residue of Windows zombies, affecting the entire
world (not just the US).
