>Is it me, or does the recent UT headline article "Linux Worm Variants Rampage" seem more like propaganda and FUD than any real infomation/facts? (This has nothing to do with the UT. I assume they just get articles from news feeds around the world.)

This is a common issue which arises weeks after weeks. In about 80 news we release each week, coming from various sources, some may be a little bit more direct, as per the opinion you just expressed, than others. What I know however, and that's an observation on my part, is that when it is towarded against Linux, we hear about it. But, when the same happens against Microsoft, no one says a word about it. In overall, it's all in a matter of opinions. I feel the same for various news when I watch CNN for example.
