Apple iPods come pre-loaded with Windows virus

What really pisses me off is that Apple doesn't hesitate to place the blame on Microsoft for this.

As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it.

Hello?? How the hell is this Windows' fault? If a Zune shipped with a Mac virus and it infected thousands of Apple customers, there would be lawsuits filed, bloggers would be in a frenzy, and all of the blame would be placed squarely on Microsoft. But since Apple can do no wrong, we see the same old nerds on ZDNet defending Apple and not much reaction from the bloggers.

I think a criminal investigation is in order.
