If you see someone complaining about all the money they lost doing what 
they should have been doing all along, I just see spin. And politics.

Especially when it's an AV vendor saying "Look, the IT business lost $2.8 gazillion due to their being hit by this 
worm. If only they'd protected their systems with a reliable anti-virus product we'd all be that much richer. Oh, by 
the way, wanna buy a reliable anti-virus package...?"

90%  Self-serving hype
9%   Overblown fear
0.9% "Statistical maths"
0.1% Reality
