8:09 AM EDT 		You mean Microsoft spreads FUD about Android? Like they spread FUD about Linux in general? I'm shocked, I tell you! Simply shocked!

When I saw the source of the botnet claim I knew it had to be taken with a grain... no, a boulder of salt.

9:48 AM EDT 		While only a conspiracy theory I just made up myself, I would not be surprised in the least if, like the US govt writing Stuxnet, Microsoft didn't have a "skunk works" of excellent programmers cracking Android and, at the least, quietly leaking vulnerabilities to various nefarious characters.

Surely, if I can think of something like this, one of the "best and brightest" at Microsoft could have also.
