Some opinions and facts:
According to Bloomberg a virus has shutdown parts of SBC, Cnn, ABC and Time Warner. CNN as you know, does not allow to listen to the streams outside of wmp10. Abc too and most of Time Warner. But that is unrelated this targets a flaw in windows outside of WMP10 itself. Just wanted to mention how happy I am this happened. (In a sense that they do not allow anything else). They are too reliant on Microsoft and paid a price. "Time loss / man hours" They may reconsider "keeping closed". With what users could listen to streams with.

What reason is there to be actually *happy* about this?
I was under the impression that CNN used Macs, anyway. Whenever they do the blog reports, they show Safari.

I always see them using IE
