It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

AWESOME!!!!
 
What this means is America now has a strategic first-strike capability.  We now have the ability to send out country-specific targeted updates that can cripple millions of systems.  ALL HAIL ANTI-VIRUS!!!  Symantec is more powerful than Halliburton now.  Dick Cheney eat your heart out.  (oops, he already did that didn't he?)
 
After the chi-coms, we should hit the jihadists with a special update.  Doesn't Microsoft sell an Arabic version?  Hmmmm.

Very astute observation FU.....in my "research" on this article I did come across several issues with both XP and Vista relating to the specific langauge pack used for the respective OS, in one case even lowly Notepad would not load due to a langauge pack issue.....interesting.....thanks to MS we may have better Homeland security than we thought......hmmm....(scratching chin)....
