Sounds Like the Set-up for a Commercial

I just learned from Ed Felten that Apple shipped some iPods with a special surprise bonus -- the Windows RavMonE.exe virus. Apple's support page is a bit snarky:

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.

The iPods were apparently infected while being tested. That's an awesome QA process -- one that takes in working iPods and outputs working iPods with worms.
