    I wonder how many people still directly connect to the internet without a gateway. It seems sensational to say “INSTANTLY INFECTED” and then tiny print (in a way that nobody connects to the internet since 1999). But maybe I’m just ignorant to how large a market still use direct connection.

      The takeaway I think they were trying to give was that the same experiments done on a more modern OS does not have these same “instant” infections (they reference having windows 7 under the same conditions without any issue)

        What are they going to write about next, the dangers of unsigned drivers and how easily they infect Windows 98? lol
