“Don’t we run drug tests on interns?” — Bill Gates Virus Responsible for Gates Security Memo: ‘An embarrassed Bill Gates admitted today that a memo outlining Microsoft’s new focus on security called Trustworthy Computing was sent out in error when an idealistic intern sent him the fanciful, pie in the sky report in a virus infected e-mail.

“I forgot to patch my Outlook Express and it went out to my entire address book,” said Gates. “You would think that if anything were to get us to focus on security in our software that it would be a gaffe like this. To ensure security in all our software, however, would mean dropping half of our product lines and I have a fiscal responsibility to shareholders.” ‘ BBSpot [thanks, David!]
